Meet Google Chrome and Apple WebKit Progressive Web App installation requirements.


1. Mandatory Icon Resolutions for Progressive Web Apps

To enable the native 'Install App' prompt in Google Chrome, a web application must define at least two standard raster PNG icons: 192x192 px for standard home screen launcher icons, and 512x512 px for splash loading screens.

2. The Importance of Maskable Icon Padding
