Can I have multiple PWAs on the same domain under different URL paths?

For example, can I create a PWA under example.com/todo-app, another one under example.com/time-tracking-app, and have each as a completely separate app that can be "installed" with a different icon on the home screen, have its own separate notifications, etc.?

You can do it if each separate PWA has:

  • a link to a different manifest
  • uses Service Workers that have non-overlapping scopes. That means you have to register them with scopes that look something like navigator.serviceWorker.register('/sw.js', {scope: './todo-app/'}) and navigator.serviceWorker.register('/sw.js', {scope: './time-tracking-app/'})

In general I'd advise against doing this because if you make any mistakes later on with scopes you'll have issues that will be very hard to debug.

Doing as you say has a different behavior.

I have both the WebPWAs installed on the home screen. However, when I click on both of the icons, both of them opens the PWA which was installed FIRST and ignores the target url.
