PWA (Progressive Web Application) Tips & Tricks

Progressive Web Applications (PWA) are designed to be fast, responsive, installable to a home screen, reliable (online or offline), and engaging (providing support for push notifications).

To enable Progressive Web App, an Oracle APEX application must be served over a secured HTTPS environment, or localhost

If using an unsecured environment, PWA features will not be rendered.

That's it. Happy APEXing!
