Download files in iOS PWA

[DeviDarkL]

Hey,

I cannot donwload files when I use iOS PWA. I click on the DOWNLOAD button but nothing happens. Is there a workaround?

Thank you

Hi, do you get the same problem when you enable direct link to download the file?

Yes, it is kinda of a hit or miss situation. Sometimes it works but most times it doesn't.

Hi, I think you need to contact the developers of the browser/iOS you are using. As the download feature in Phoca Download is standard browser feature and the download happens between the browser user and the server. So hard to say what wrong is then in the browser or OS

Hey Jan,

When downloading a PDF file in an iOS device with a PWA the file opens but there are no buttons. I found on the web that we can make the button to DOWNLOAD and not to open the file. Is it possible to do on Phoca Download?

Hi, this is standard Phoca Download behaviour - to have download button, which does not open the file but downloads the file directly.
