1. A method of configuring a personal computing device for communication with an aerosol generation device over a short-range wireless communication connection, the method comprising:
a native application launching a web browser on the personal computing device;
the web browser launching a progressive web application, PWA, on the personal computing device;
the PWA causing the personal computing device to establish the short-range wireless communication connection with the aerosol generation device; and
storing instructions and/or data for implementing one or more functions of the PWA in browser storage of the web browser, such that after the web browser has been closed and subsequently relaunched by the native application the web browser can retrieve the instructions or data for implementing the one or more functions of the PWA from the browser storage.
