MacOS support #4547

Tell us about your feature idea

I came across PWA builder and it's pretty nice!

However, it seems MacOS support is omitted right now. There is an archived repo for it:

Would be great if PWABuilder could also be used for Mac to cover all platforms. That would enable it as an actual alternative to Electron-based multiplatform apps – build a proper PWA, wrap it with PWABuilder to get the best of both worlds of super-capable web app and native store deployment.

Do you have an implementation or a solution in mind?

Mac OS support :)

Have you considered any alternatives?

When going for a PWA workflow I'm not sure if there's a nice/clean alternative for Mac OS right now. There's still no proper installation flow for PWAs in Safari.

Try to enable macOS mode in xcode, for the project generated for iOS. It should work relatively well if I remember correctly.

@hybridherbst We can add this to our backlog but not sure when this can be prioritized. Do you have any interest in improving it for us? 🙌🏻

hybridherbst commented 8 months ago

@beth-panx thanks! – I'm not very versed in Mac development, so not sure if I can be of much help in that regard...

Definitely interested in this!
