Hi @Muhammad Awais. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- To implement a PWA (Progressive Web App) in Nuxt, the most common and recommended approach for Nuxt 3 is to use the @vite-pwa/nuxt module. This module integrates the VitePWA plugin with Nuxt, allowing you to easily add PWA features such as service workers, offline support, and web app manifests. How to get started: 1. Install the module: 
   npm install @vite-pwa/nuxt
   
   npm install @vite-pwa/nuxt
2. Add it to your nuxt.config.ts: 
   export default defineNuxtConfig({
     modules: [
       '@vite-pwa/nuxt',
       // ...other modules
     ],
     pwa: {
       manifest: {
         name: 'My Nuxt App',
         short_name: 'NuxtApp',
         description: 'My incredible Nuxt app',
         theme_color: '#ffffff',
         lang: 'en',
         // Add your icons here
       },
       // Optional: auto-update service worker
       registerType: 'autoUpdate'
     }
   })
   
   export default defineNuxtConfig({
     modules: [
       '@vite-pwa/nuxt',
       // ...other modules
     ],
     pwa: {
       manifest: {
         name: 'My Nuxt App',
         short_name: 'NuxtApp',
         description: 'My incredible Nuxt app',
         theme_color: '#ffffff',
         lang: 'en',
         // Add your icons here
       },
       // Optional: auto-update service worker
       registerType: 'autoUpdate'
     }
   })
Make sure your icons are placed in the public/ directory and referenced correctly in the manifest. For example: 
   {
     "src": "android-launchericon-192-192.png",
     "sizes": "192x192",
     "type": "image/png"
   }
   
   {
     "src": "android-launchericon-192-192.png",
     "sizes": "192x192",
     "type": "image/png"
   }
PWA not enable with vite-plugin-pwa on Nuxt 3. Use <NuxtPwaManifest /> in your layout or app.vue if needed. Notes and Best Practices: - The PWA module works well in production. If you encounter hydration errors or unexpected behavior in development, try disabling PWA features in dev mode, as some issues are known to occur only during development and not in production builds Adding '@vite-pwa/nuxt' to nuxt 3 project causes hydration errors. - The Nuxt roadmap indicates ongoing improvements and future built-in support for SEO and service workers, but currently, @vite-pwa/nuxt is the main solution for Nuxt 3 Nuxt Roadmap. Summary:
For Nuxt 3, use the @vite-pwa/nuxt module for PWA support. Configure your manifest and icons, and be aware of dev vs. production differences. This is the most widely used and documented approach in the Nuxt ecosystem right now. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
