Package Overview

Package selection guidance compiled from public package information, community data, and project usage.

The pwa_info package provides utilities to detect and retrieve information about a Progressive Web App (PWA) environment across multiple platforms. It enables developers to check if the current app is running as a PWA, access PWA-specific metadata such as manifest details, and determine installation status on supported platforms. This helps tailor user experiences based on whether the app is launched from a browser or installed as a standalone PWA. The package supports Android, iOS, Web, macOS, Windows, and Linux, making it ideal for cross-platform web applications aiming to enhance PWA functionality.

Use cases

  • Detecting PWA installation status
  • Accessing PWA manifest data
  • Customizing UI based on PWA context
  • Enabling offline capabilities
  • Supporting cross-platform PWA apps
  • Improving user engagement with PWA features

Key features

  • Cross-platform compatibility
  • Manifest data retrieval
  • Installation status detection
  • Simple API integration
  • Supports all major platforms
  • Lightweight and efficient

Suitable for

  • Developers building PWAs
  • Apps requiring PWA-specific logic
  • Cross-platform web applications
  • Projects targeting multiple OS environments
  • Teams using Flutter for web and mobile

Considerations

  • Requires web platform support
  • Limited to PWA-specific checks
  • No runtime configuration options
  • Depends on browser PWA APIs
  • Not suitable for native-only apps
  • May not work in all embedded WebView scenarios
