            Bug ID: 255858
           Summary: Feature Request: "Add to Home Screen" Smart Banner
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Safari 16
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified

iOS Safari supports Smart Banners, allowing web sites a better way to link to the App Store.

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/webkit/promoting_apps_with_smart_app_banners
> Smart App Banners vastly improve users’ browsing experience compared to other promotional methods. In iOS, Smart App Banners provide a consistent look and feel that users come to recognize. They trust that tapping the banner will take them to the App Store and not a third-party advertisement. They appreciate unobtrusive banners at the top of a webpage, instead of a full screen that interrupts their experience with the web content. And with a large and prominent Close button, a banner is easy to dismiss. When the user returns to the webpage, the banner doesn’t reappear.

Many web apps offer an excellent app-like experience when the user adds the web app to their home screen, but the Add to Home Screen (A2HS) feature is extremely difficult to find. Users first have to click the Share button, which is hidden when the URL bar is collapsed, then they have to scroll the Share Sheet, which many users don't realize is scrollable.

There should be a similar Smart Banner for the Add to Home Screen (A2HS) feature.
