Reviewers switch on airplane mode. Users ride the subway. A Lovable app that shows a white page offline looks broken; a native offline screen with a retry button looks like an app. WebViewGold gives you three levels of offline support, and the right one depends on your stack (React + Vite + Tailwind CSS + shadcn/ui on the front end, usually Supabase (or Lovable Cloud) for auth, database and edge functions).

The three levels
1. Native offline screen
Default. When the device has no connection, WebViewGold shows a branded offline screen with a "Try again" button (offlinetitle, offlinemsg, offlinebuttontext) and reconnects automatically (offlinescreenautoretry). Zero work in Lovable.
2. Cache and error states
The WebView caches your app's assets so repeat launches are fast. Add friendly error states in Lovable for requests to Supabase or Lovable Cloud (Postgres, storage, edge functions) that fail mid-session, and keep form input when a request fails.
3. Local HTML fallback
Ship a static build (or a lightweight offline version) inside the app: offlinelocalhtmlswitch on iOS, FALLBACK_USE_LOCAL_HTML_FOLDER_IF_OFFLINE on Android. The app loads the remote URL when online and the local folder when offline. Ideal for content apps, manuals and catalogs.
Prompt for Lovable
Paste this into Lovable to implement the web-app side. Review the result, publish, then test inside the WebViewGold app.
Prompt to paste into Lovable
Make this app handle offline situations gracefully (it will run inside a native mobile wrapper that only shows its own offline screen when the very first page fails to load). 1) Add a slim top banner "You're offline. Changes will sync when you reconnect." toggled by the online and offline window events and navigator.onLine. 2) Every screen that loads data from Supabase must show a friendly empty state with a "Try again" button when the query errors, instead of an endless spinner. 3) Configure the query client with retry: 2 and a short retry delay. 4) Make sure forms keep their input when a submit fails. 5) Keep the app shell (navigation, logo) visible while offline.
Great work! Never coded anything but managed to work with this. Easy and fast! Also with great help from the creators!
Set title, message, button text and background color in the config (or Cloud Builder). Mention what the user can do ("Reconnect to see your orders").
Add error states in Lovable
Every data fetch to Supabase or Lovable Cloud (Postgres, storage, edge functions) needs a failure state with a retry button, not an empty list. Time out after a few seconds instead of spinning forever.
Cache the last state
Show the last loaded dashboard numbers or list with a "last updated" note while offline; a service worker or local storage in your web app is enough.
Optional: bundle an offline version
Export a static build of the parts that make sense offline (help, catalog, saved items) into the local-html folder and switch the fallback on. Keep the remote URL as the primary source so updates stay instant.
Test in airplane mode
Launch cold, launch with a cached session, lose the connection mid-session, reconnect. This is exactly what the reviewer does.
Frequently asked questions
Will my Lovable app work fully offline?
Only with a local HTML folder (level 3) or a PWA designed for offline data. Apps that depend on Supabase or Lovable Cloud (Postgres, storage, edge functions) show the offline screen until the connection is back, which is what reviewers expect.
Do service workers work inside the app?
The system WebView supports standard caching; WebViewGold's own offline screen does not depend on them. For guaranteed offline behavior, use the local HTML fallback.
Is the offline screen customizable?
Yes: text (in up to three languages), colors and the retry behavior are settings in the WebViewGold project.
