PWA or TestFlight: start with the need
Safari PWA
Open in Safari and add it to the Home Screen. Codec and input coverage follows the device’s web capabilities.
TestFlight client
A private native path for admitted testers when deeper system integration matters.
Host PC
Both paths require Helio on the Windows PC running your games.
Add the Lume PWA to the Home Screen
- Open SafariSign in to Lume on the iPhone or iPad.
- ShareOpen Safari’s Share menu.
- Add to Home ScreenLaunch Lume from the new icon.
- Pair a controllerConnect it in Bluetooth settings before the session.
Mobile Wi-Fi is only half the route
The host upload connection matters as much as the client network. Prefer wired Ethernet on the host and stable 5/6 GHz Wi-Fi on the device. Cellular can work, but routing and jitter vary.
A standard controller is the most predictable path
Most PC games are not designed for generic touch controls. Use an iOS/iPadOS-compatible Bluetooth controller and check the compatibility matrix.
What the iOS beta does not promise
Lume does not promise identical codecs, resolution or frame rate on every generation. Chip, OS, decoder and Safari capabilities differ, so access expands progressively.
