Hey I wanted to know has anyone successfully turned their web app into a PWA.
Are there any forum post I should read that will walk me through it?
I have not done this but was curious of exactly what are the differences between a PWA and a web app built on bubble, so asked ChatGPT about it. This quote below was part of the answer
Can Bubble Apps be PWAs?
Yes—with some manual steps you can turn a Bubble app into a PWA:
- Add a Web App Manifest to your page header.
- Register a Service Worker via custom HTML or a plugin.
- Ensure all assets are served over HTTPS (Bubble already does that).
That lets your Bubble app gain offline cache, “Add to Home Screen,” and even push notifications—so you get the best of both worlds.
Web App manifest is just JSON and can be done easily via page header of bubble app. The registration of a service worker part is something I have not dived into. Seems like that is all you’d need to do.

I have service workers to cache images in all my apps. Just need to upload it as an app file in settings with the appropriate name.
Android or iOS? We are running a pilot where we can wrap your app and push it to the app store. Same like theBDK but much faster and uses a fully native wrapper.
I mean both if possible.
