Hello Ionic team,  
I am researching technologies for a new greenfield project.  
The target is a multiplatform industrial mobile application + web.  
You have great documentation, but I could not find information about a few topics. It would be fantastic if you share your knowledge.  
Can I develop in one codebase application for Android, IOS, and Web?  
I mean is this work as PWA and thanks to A2HS (add to home screen) adding a shortcut in home screen/desktop when you visit a website, and Ionic deliver near-native UX for mobiles?

Greetings, dear.

Ionic nowadays with Capacitor allows the possibility not only to deploy binaries for iOS and Android with native UI/UX behavior, preserving the standards and patterns recommended on the web in order to optimize the product as fluid and functional as possible.

You can do the test yourself by creating a “Getting Started…” from here:

> **[Create your Ionic App](https://ionicframework.com/start#basics)**
>
> Create your own beautiful mobile app with just a few clicks and the power of Ionic Framework.

Additionally, Capacitor today also allows you to deploy not only on Web PWA and access the capabilities of the equipment if they are available, but also offer you fallbacks (e.g.: FileUpload, for example), also on Desktop with Electron:

You can get a sense of how many Ionic/Angular apps are there by just searching for **“com.ionicframework”,** which is our starting package ID. Here’s a link if [you’re interested](https://play.google.com/store/search?q=com.ionicframework&c=apps).

Don’t be afraid! That it is better to regret what was done than what was not. 😉

For more info., you could read a little more details thanks to Mike in the following article:

Best regards.
