App Packaging
You can package your Progressive Web App (PWA) for distribution on the Apple App Store or Google Play by clicking Download Package. This redirects to PWABuilder , an open-source tool that wraps your PWA into a native-like container for publishing.
📦
Transcodes uses PWABuilder under the hood to simplify packaging. For full customization, refer to PWABuilder’s official documentation.
Important Notes
- This process is experimental and may not pass all app store review criteria.
- Packaged PWAs might have limited support for:
- Push notifications
- Advanced APIs (e.g., file system access)
- In-app authentication
- If your app includes payments, additional setup for In-App Purchases is likely required.
Steps

- Follow the platform-specific packaging instructions on PWABuilder.
