IWA Migration Experts
Codimite helps enterprises replace legacy Chrome Apps with the most suitable modern architecture whether that is a Progressive Web App, Chrome Extension, hybrid solution, or Isolated Web App.
Why modernize
Legacy Chrome Apps are no longer a sustainable foundation for enterprise applications. Continued reliance on outdated APIs, unsupported dependencies, and older deployment models can create security, compatibility, and maintenance risks.
01
Keep the integrations, permissions, and daily processes your teams already depend on.
02
Move onto supported web technologies with controlled permissions and a reliable update path.
03
Map each legacy capability to a supported PWA, Chrome Extension, or IWA implementation.
04
Run and manage the application across current managed ChromeOS devices and policies.
05
Deliver updates through managed deployment, version management, and centralized configuration.
Architecture
Codimite assesses your users, workflows, devices, integrations, security requirements, and deployment model before recommending the simplest architecture that can support the application securely.
Best for applications that need browser-based access, installation, offline support, cross-platform availability, and a maintainable web codebase.
Suitable when the application must interact with Chrome, extend browser functionality, or use supported Chrome Extension APIs.
A hybrid approach that combines a modern web experience with selected browser or ChromeOS capabilities delivered through a managed extension.
Designed for managed environments that require stronger application isolation, signed and versioned delivery, or high-trust capabilities such as Direct Sockets and Controlled Frame.
Chrome App modernization
Codimite provides end-to-end services to modernize legacy Chrome Apps into secure, scalable, and enterprise-ready solutions.
Codimite supports every stage of the transition from a legacy Chrome App to a secure, maintainable, and enterprise-ready application.
We analyze APIs, permissions, integrations, networking, hardware access, storage, offline behaviour, and enterprise policies.
Each legacy capability is mapped to a supported PWA, Chrome Extension, hybrid, or IWA implementation.
You receive a recommended architecture, identified capability gaps, technical risks, migration priorities, and a phased delivery plan.
Codimite redesigns and rebuilds the application using secure and maintainable web technologies while preserving essential workflows.
We test functionality, application security, offline behaviour, device access, networking, updates, and ChromeOS compatibility.
IWA development
When a standard PWA or Chrome Extension cannot support an application's security or system-level requirements, Codimite can design and build an Isolated Web App for managed ChromeOS environments.
We design application isolation boundaries, Content Security Policies, Permissions Policies, cross-origin isolation, and controlled external communication.
Codimite packages the application and its resources into Signed Web Bundles, supporting secure distribution and verifiable application integrity.
We support Web Bundle IDs, signing processes, update manifests, release channels, version management, and controlled enterprise updates.
Direct Sockets allow approved IWAs to establish TCP or UDP connections with local systems, IoT devices, specialized hardware, printers, and network services.
Controlled Frame enables an IWA to embed and manage external web content that may not be suitable for a standard iframe implementation.
Where specific ChromeOS capabilities remain available through Extension APIs, Codimite can connect an IWA with a managed companion Chrome Extension.
Connected services
Chrome App modernization may be part of a wider application, browser, security, or device transformation. Codimite provides connected services to support the broader modernization journey.

FAQs
Chrome App modernization replaces a legacy Chrome App with a supported PWA, Chrome Extension, hybrid solution, or Isolated Web App while preserving essential workflows, integrations, security, and device capabilities.
Modernization reduces security, compatibility, and maintenance risks caused by unsupported APIs and outdated dependencies. It also prepares applications for current ChromeOS environments and future enterprise requirements.
The right architecture depends on your workflows, APIs, security needs, device access, and deployment model. Codimite evaluates these requirements before recommending a PWA, extension, hybrid solution, or IWA.
An Isolated Web App is a signed, versioned, and securely packaged web application designed for managed, high-trust environments requiring stronger isolation, controlled updates, and advanced system capabilities.
Yes. Using Direct Sockets, an approved IWA can connect to printers, IoT devices, specialized hardware, and local network services through TCP or UDP connections.
Codimite provides API audits, architecture planning, application development, testing, Signed Web Bundles, security implementation, Google Admin configuration, kiosk deployment, pilot testing, and phased enterprise rollout.
