Progressive web apps

How to create and share a PWA

Create and share a Progressive Web App (PWA) — a lightweight, web-based version of your mobile app that works seamlessly across all devices and platforms. PWAs offer a quick and flexible way to deliver your app-like experience without going through app store publishing.

Step 1: Access the PWA publishing section

• Log in to your AppMySite account.

• Navigate to your custom app dashboard.

• Go to the Download section from the left menu.

• Find the PWA section.

• Click the Publish button to begin the setup.

Progressive web apps are available by default for all Custom App users. If you're using another app product, this option will not appear in your dashboard.

Step 2: Publish your PWA

• You will be redirected to the PWA screen.

• Click the Publish button from the top right of the screen.

• Your PWA will be generated and published instantly.

A free SSL certificate is included to ensure encrypted and secure connections to your PWA.

Step 3: Preview and install your PWA

Once published, you can:

• Scan the QR code to preview and install the PWA on your mobile device.

• Click the Desktop App button to open and view the app in a browser.

On most mobile browsers, you’ll see an “Add to Home Screen” prompt—tap it to install the PWA like a native app. Alternatively, you can use your device’s native share option to add it to your home screen.

Step 4: Share your PWA

• Click the Share button to copy your PWA’s link.

• Share the link with users, teams, or customers for easy access on any device.

PWAs don’t require app store submissions, making distribution faster and more flexible.

Step 5: Customize your domain

• Click the Domain Setup button on the PWA screen.

• You’ll be taken to the Domain settings page.

• Here, you can customize and white label your app’s web address.

Custom domains are available on the Premium plan, enabling you to white label your app with a fully branded web address. If you're on another plan, your PWA will be published on a default AppMySite domain (e.g., (e.g., yourapp.myappmysite.com))

Expected outcome

You will have a fully functional, shareable PWA version of your app that:

• Works across all browsers and platforms.

• Can be installed like a native app on mobile and desktop.

• Offers an easy distribution and access option with instant sharing and no app store delays.
