Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt Monday at 02:04 PM
David N. Posted September 14, 2023 Posted September 14, 2023 I'm not sure why when I add my website to my home page on my iPhone, it just creates a bookmark to Safari instead of a PWA. I've tried without creating a manifest, I've tried creating a manifest and choosing Full Screen mode, both create a regular bookmark. Is there another setting I'm missing in my ACP? When I add this InvisionCommunity.com site to my home page on my iPhone, it creates a PWA as expected.
Jim M Posted September 14, 2023 Posted September 14, 2023 Would recommend simplifying your website down. Looks like you have a few third party applications, plugins, and custom theme. Along with a third party advertising source, which could potentially interrupt the outputted meta data to let the device know there is a PWA.

I disabled the 3rd party app, disabled all plug-ins, switched to a stock theme with no ads, and tried again. It still creates a good old bookmark, no PWA.
Solution Jim M Posted September 14, 2023 Solution Posted September 14, 2023 Thank you for trying that. I have transferred this to a ticket so we can better investigate what is happening here as I can replicate that as well on your community. David N. 1
David N. Posted September 15, 2023 Author Posted September 15, 2023 This was resolved, it's now working as expected. Thank you!
Marc Posted September 15, 2023 Posted September 15, 2023 Glad to see we managed to get you sorted there 🙂 David N. 1
Seylerg Posted January 21 Posted January 21 I seem to have the same issue as above. It Will only add my site as a bookmark. I don’t use and third party stuff or plugins that I’m aware of. I can install PWA’s with this community and others using Invision. Any help would be appreciated. thanks 😊
Seylerg Posted January 21 Posted January 21 Sorry just found out that it must be a cookie or cache thing. I opened my site in a private window then it let me add as a PWA to my Home Screen. All good 👍
