Even worse, what if a browser does not support an API that is key to your app experience? While the UWP APIs we previously encouraged developers to use only worked on Windows, these new web standards-based APIs will also run great in the Edge browser, other Chromium based browsers, Android and even ChromeOS! Always up-to-date No one likes writing code that is only supported on one browser or platform. This is only a brief look at the capabilities available in the New Edge but as you can see, by just using standard web APIs your PWA is able to light up on Windows and provide the user with a familiar user experience. The new Edge also has support for all your favorite web APIs such as Web Components, WebGL 2.0, the Clipboard API and more! Through initiatives such as Project Fugu, we have been able to bring all the common functionality developers used UWP APIs for before to standard Web APIs: While we previously supported advanced functionality through the UWP APIs, we are now fully embracing Web Standards APIs and ensuring those APIs work great on Windows. Thanks to contributions from the Edge team and the broader Chromium community, PWAs on Windows can now utilize the latest Web APIs to enable a truly native feeling app. The user can open your PWA without Edge having to be open and interact with it as they normally would with apps on Windows. They also show up in your Start menu (complete with Icons for expanded tiles), in your taskbar(where they are also pinnable just like any other app on Windows) in your Apps & Features settings etc. PWAs work great on Windows! As with EdgeHTML PWAs in the store, the new Chromium Edge based PWAs also feel completely native to Windows!Ĭhromium Edge PWAs run in a Windows of their own, just like any other application on Windows. We know that developers are excited to use the full power of the new Edge with their PWAs in the Microsoft Store and because of this, today we are extremely excited to announce the first Preview of the new PWABuilder Windows platform! This significant update enables you to easily start packaging your Progressive Web Apps, using the new Chromium based Edge, for the Microsoft Store! The benefits of moving to the new Edge Also, Microsoft Edge itself has changed since that original blog post, including the announcement of the new Edge, which uses the the open source Chromium engine. However, a lot has changed on the web platform since that original blog post, with modern technologies and APIs such as Web Assembly, Web Bluetooth, Web USB, Web Share, Web Shortcuts, and more enabling developers to ship increasingly advanced apps on the web. PWAs have since become one of the leading ways to distribute apps to users on Windows. The Microsoft Store was the first app store to support Progressive Web Apps.
