- anderspitman 7y agoOh duh. And it sounds like iOS doesn't support that for PWAs yet?
- phreack 7y agoCorrect, many websites say that such support is "coming soon" but I've been hearing that for years now.
- anderspitman 7y agoSometimes I wonder if Apple wouldn't support web apps at all if they could get away with it. A fully functioning PWA could essentially sidestep the app store for a huge class of applications. The incentives really just aren't aligned.
