Re:PWA-check: an automated PWA health check tool on Wednesday July 08, 2026 @03:39PM (#48836491)
Is your web app actually ready to be installed, work offline, and behave like a real PWA?

Let pwa-check answer that for you.

I created pwa-check to help you make sure your PWA looks, feels, and behaves like a real app.

It runs an audit on your PWA and checks if the manifest has the required members to meet the installability criteria, your icons and screenshots are reachable, and analyses your service worker for the correct event handlers.

You can use it as a command-line tool or as part of your CI/CD pipeline.

Give it a try, I'm curious to know what you think!

You can find pwa-check on GitHub: https://github.com/pwa-today/pwa-check

What UX bugs specifically?

It does since iOS 17. For now you’ll have to enable it manually through Settings > Safari > Advanced > Feature Flags > Shape Detection API but I expect it to be enabled by default soon.

I’m the creator of this and haven’t been able to reliably fix this so far but I’ll give your suggestion a try.
