Hasan Basri, Banjarmasin 70124, Indonesia Abstract This research aims to establish a knowledge of Progressive Web Application (PWA) method practices based on published empirical investigation, the problems that the PWA method may face, and the PWA method’s approach to experimental studies. We also looked for PWA practices that might address the issues with the prior method. We performed a broad, automated search to fnd SLRs and 43 papers published from 1 January 2015 to 6 November 2021 that discuss PWA. Specifc inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied to determine which relevant studies we used for our research purposes. The review identifed 31 practices of PWA, Six challenges of the previous approach of mobile application development that get resolved by PWA, and seven challenges posed by the practice of PWA. PWA was introduced in 2015, and since 2017 the studies on PWA topics have started increasing. The distribution of studies based on nations is spread evenly. 74% of selected studies are about the prac- tice of the PWA. Although it cannot be generalized that the PWA approach handles the challenge of the previous method, some studies reported that PWA covers the problems of the previous methods. However, despite its benefts, PWA still has some challenges, mostly related to browser support. KEYWORDS: Progressive Web App, PWA, Survey, Systematic Literature Review, Web Application 1 INTRODUCTION According to Malavolta et al. [1] , Progressive Web App (PWA) is a new mobile application development architecture with advan- tages over its predecessors. It can work with low or no internet connection, run in the background, and assist the push notifcation. It is unique due to its progressive steps [1] . Not all progressive web apps can be called progressive web apps, but PWA is always a progressive web app [2] . PWA was introduced in 2015 [3, 4] .
