Custom meta tags - Native-Like Progressive Web Apps For iOS

I would like to add custom meta tags in order to run Retool apps as a standalone application on iOS (that is, in a new window without the web browser’s UI controls).

For example,

<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes">

But it is also possible to customize the homepage app icon,

<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="single-page-icon.png">

Here is a great article on the topic -

Thank you for posting @faridbe!

@alex-w Any updates on this?

Hi all - has there been any movement on this?

I'd like to add the apple-touch-icon for users on iOS to be able to see an icon when saving the retool webpage to their home screens. As of now, we aren't using Retool Mobile and may explore that in the future.

Is there an alternate mechanism to get this working?

Hi @Jeremy_DBPA , since this request was made, we’ve released Mobile Apps, which allows users to create end-to-end mobile applications! However, we just created a new internal feature request to support your use case, as it could open up even more possibilities. We’ll keep you posted on any updates from our development team.
