  1.         Are Progressive  Web Apps the  Future of  Application  Development?                           

  2.   In recent years, there has been a newcomer in the world of mobile development, it                               is the Progressive Web Apps, an application that can be read on a browser and                               which has more advantages than a traditional ​mobile application​.        What is a Progressive Web App?  A Progressive Web App combines web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and                       the functionalities of a native application (push notifications, full-screen vision,                     geolocation, etc.).    It is mobile-first, readable from a browser, has a URL and it is responsive on all                                 screens (mobile, tablet, PC). Today the PWA represents a real cross between the                           web apps (Hotmail, Google Drive) and the mobile website.    Google, via Android, was the first to sniff out the PWA vein. In fact, it is gradually                                   making all the features of native applications available to PWAs and has been doing                             so for a few years now. They are now endowed with many advantages but also the                                 best of native applications (push notifications, icons, full-screen mode).    1 

  3.   Note, however, that iOS was not as fast as Android in providing PWAs with native                               features on its system. It is, therefore, catching up at the moment, by supporting                             them better and better with each update, with progress almost every month.    How Does it Work?  To begin with, progressive web apps use a script called “Service Workers »”, which                             will give access to features such as sending push notifications, updating content in                           the background, or even offline use.    The PWA stores HTML files, CSS files, and images in the browser cache, giving                             developers full control over the network call.    Based on an “App Shell” model, it provides an envelope of the basic UI before the                                 data is put in place. We, therefore, separate the content and the structure of the                               application to save loading time.    Finally, it uses a “manifest.json”, a file that allows it to create a shortcut on the                                 home page from the browser, and no longer after installation from the Store! This                             manipulation is easily done on Android, while on iOS you have to trick a little or pin                                   your site.    You should know that iOS has made a lot of effort recently to integrate PWAs.                               Indeed, the operating system offers, for example, much more access to the tools of                             the smartphone (geolocation, gyroscope) and improves the user experience. The                     functions of the “manifest” do not stop there since it allows a more native aspect to                                 the application via the possibility of turning the screen, carrying out a display                           without an address bar, or of changing the color.    2 

  4.   Finally, together with these files, we can code your Progressive Web App like a                             classic website, with HTML, JavaScript, and CSS.    What are the Advantages of a Progressive Web App?    Let’s See the Advantages of a PWA Compared to a Classic Native                         Application:  ● We don’t need to install a PWA, we access it via its URL. You can put the icon                                     of a PWA as a shortcut on the home page of a phone from the browser                                 without having to install it.  ● PWA saves money because it is only developed once, while a native app                           needs to be developed for Android and iOS.  ● Thanks to its partial caching, the user does not re-download it every time                           they use it.  ● In the absence of a download, the PWA only uses a very limited portion of the                                 phone’s memory.  ● The PWA has SEO! And yes, thanks to its URL, it is referenced by Google, so it                                   is SEO-friendly.  ● It can be used without an internet connection.  ● It is secure (HTTPS), and responsive (PC, Tablet, Laptop)    Now Let’s See the Disadvantages of Progressive Web Apps:  ● Its absence on mobile blinds  ● Among browsers, Chrome performs well, but others take a long time to adapt                           to PWA  ● Offline data storage limit is 50MB maximum  ● Despite its many features, it offers limited possibilities in terms of ​UX and UI​, especially in 3D (no access to Bluetooth, Touch ID, Face ID, NFC, etc.)                              3 

  5.   The Revenge of Native Applications Development Against               PWAs  You are probably wondering why a company should choose a Progressive Web                         Application rather than a “Native Application”. Many also wonder if PWAs will ever                           come to replace them.    Unlike PWAs, native apps are written to run on mobile devices, not in a web                               browser. They are developed with Objective-C and Swift languages ​​for iOS and Java for Android. While longer and more expensive to develop (because of the                                                   development of separate versions for the 2 platforms), native applications are                       however more secure, running under HTTPS. A guarantee of confidence for the                         user!    They can interact with each other (for example by offering its users to connect via                               Facebook) and provide a better user experience. They also offer solutions lacking in                           PWAs such as access to Apple services (Example: in-app payments), Siri integration,                         access to information (Touch ID, Face ID, etc.).    The native application also allows you to use many more features than the                           Progressive Web App, for Example, geofencing which consists of sending a                       notification when approaching a geolocated point.    Like the PWA, the native app is a good solution to provide a seamless experience                               for users. The choice between the two should be made according to the objectives                             and resources of your project.    The native developer has certainly lost some market share, but is not about to                             disappear! It will now have to redouble its efforts to compete with PWAs, on more               advanced applications, by seeking the latest features that PWAs do not yet support.                  4 

  6.   Conclusion  Thanks to its URLs, its loading speed, its functionalities, and its mobile design, the                             PWA seems to be the future of applications. And for proof “Twitter Lite», which                             implemented a PWA for its mobile experience, saw its bounce rate drop by 20% and                               its number of tweets increase by 75%. Others have also had this initiative, such as                               Tinder, Pinterest, or Lancôme.    In view of these good results, browsers and other platforms have recently made a                             lot of efforts to support and add more and more features to PWAs, so it is a                                   technology that is evolving and that could, in time, supplant the application market.    If you are looking to leverage on PWAs, connect with us.
