How to create a PWA using GeneXus

To create a Progressive Web Application using GeneXus follow these steps:

1. Create your web application as always (Use Web Panels and other Web Objects).
    
2. Edit the main Web Panel of your application and set the Web Application property to Progressive.
    
3. After that, related properties appear and need to be set. Set those to define the look and feel and the behavior of the PWA.
    
4. Build the Main Web Panel and that's it!
   
   
   Note: GeneXus will generate automatically:

   • A manifest file for your PWA.
   • A service worker which is in charge of the reliability of the application..


5. Recommended: Verify with LightHouse that you've got a PWA.
