Our PWA offers the possibility to download ZIP files.
When clicking on the download link on iOS, a download screen (iOS specific) appears. The download is possible.
But after downloading, there is no way to go back - no iOS-back-button appears.
On Android, it's possible to use the Back-Button in the bottom nav bar.
Any way of making a back-button appear?
Thanks!

I have created an SMS app in Xcode (Swift). The user will go to the app's settings menu by pressing a button.
Here is the code for the button:
UIApplication.shared.open(NSURL(string: UIApplicationOpenSettingsURLString) as! URL, options:[:], completionHandler: nil)
There I can write the phone number and it will be linked to my app. But when I am in my settings menu I would like to go back to my app. Now it will only go back to the normal settings menu. Is this possible? I have tried looking but it's hard to find something when iOS 10 is new. I have just recently started coding on iPhone apps.
There's nothing you can do in your own app. The call to open launches another app and leaves your app.
iOS provides two simple ways for the user to return to your app.
In the top left corner of the iOS screen will be a little arrow and the name of your app. If the user taps on this, they will be returned to your app.
The user can double-tap the Home button to bring up the list of recently used apps. They can then tap on your app's icon to return to your app.
Is it possible to set the user selected icon as launcher icon while installing the application in IOS?
Our client was asking the requirement as while installing itself user can select their custom launcher icon for Iphone Application. please help me to find out the solution.
Without a jailbreak, no, you can not do it.
The icon and the background image used while loading the app are both static. The first thing you can change is after the app has loaded, then you could have a user chosen splash screen.
I am using the iPhone simulator that is part of the SDK to test a jQuery Mobile website. I have the startup of the simulator scripted but once the simulator is up and running, I still have to click on Safari/enter the website URL. Is there a way to preload Safari/website URL through the shell script?
You can do the following... Once you open your webpage via mobile safari, look at the bottom tool bar where you see a set of icons. Click on the centre one "Share" and you get a list of options. Select "Add to home screen" and give it a name when prompted. Now, you will have this page added to the home screen and you can simply open this with a click.
How can I BY CODE add a web shortcut to iPhone HomeScreen?
There is no API to do this. Your best bet is to do what many web apps do: create something that points at the part of the toolbar where the add to homescreen button exists. And pray Apple doesn't change the position of that button any time soon.
I want do build an webclip browser app. I will display all my webclips in to a scroll view when the user taps on one I want to add that web clip to the iPhone.
How to I tell to the iOS to install that webclip from my app?
Any docs, example, tutorials are welcome.
If by webclip you mean adding a link to a web address to the home screen then you can't do that programatically.
I think only Safari can do this so you would have to open the destination webpage in Safari and instruct the user how to add it to the home screen.
See this for a discussion on the feature. Javascript for "Add to Home Screen" on iPhone?
