I’m a dev and have a bunch of PWAs on my iPhone. You can install them right from the browser using that same old “add to Home Screen” behavior that has been in iOS for an eternity.
I’m posting this through voyager for Lemmy, installed from my browser, not the App Store.
You’re a dev and use PWAs on ios and don’t know that you can’t even get push notifications? There’s no web bluetooth, no web nfc, no background sync, 50-100mb storage limit, no background processes, no service workers. These are all standard features that apple refuses to implement for some reason. Wonder why.
Something sensitive like this really should be a PWA (and web app for iOS users)
Between Apple walled garden and the new dev signature thing from Google, those big players sure do like control over what we can do as users.
I agree with you, PWA is the way but Apple has been slow walking integration for years now (see https://brainhub.eu/library/pwa-on-ios)
Except PWAs are heavily limited on apple devices so Apple could get that 30% cut.
Got a source for that?
