Add to homescreen prompt not being shown in IOS with Angular

I followed the instruction on https://angular.io/guide/service-worker-getting-started on how to build PWA Apps.

All is working in Android app, the prompt is showing and all. However, When I tried it on my ios the prompt is not showing at all (google and safari).

I really don't know where to start fixing.

Thanks!

iOS doesn't support web install banners/prompt yet.. in any browser.

Safari in iOS supports good part of PWA, including Service worker, Index DB. But it has lots of limitation compared to Android. In iOS- Safari, user can go to menu and choose "add to home screen" and thats currently the only way user can do in iOS. You can show a full page instruction GIF requesting user to do the same. Unfortunately, thats the best we can do as a developer.

Chrome in iOS - Doesn't support service worker itself. So we cant even say it supports PWA in iOS.
