One of our projects is help for a web app, which can be installed as a progressive web app (PWA). Its working fine in desktop and on android, but on iOS we are running into an issue.
When the help is called using an alias (CSH), it opens in the PWA frame. You can navigate within the help, but you can't use our embedded link (history.back()) to return to the app. If you have gestures enabled, swiping back twice will get you there, which we are assuming is because it is jumping back over the CSH redirection. On android, the embedded back link works fine.
I'm in the progress of adding a special button to "close" the help when in iOS and go to app. I'd love to be able to go back to the page they left the app from, but that might be too much to ask for.
Anyone have any suggestions on better ways to handle this within iOS?

Re: Help project in PWA
Got the navigation bar in place to return to the home page of the web app, so thats ok for now. I'd still prefer to use history, but for now this is working.
Ran into another issue on the other side. Using android, the top navigation menu doesn't display on tap, it follows the link to the TOC page. On iOS, this displays the menu, and on desktop it displays the menu on mouse-over and opens the TOC page on click. Any way to make iOS work like android in this situation?
