The article itself cites things like the lack of support for WebRTC and Service Workers.
- toomuchtodo 11y agoI can't find a single iOS app I use that needs either of these.
- untog 11y agoI'm not sure if you're trolling or sincere here. Of course iOS apps don't need them, they are native. We are talking about the capabilities of the iOS Safari browser.
- toomuchtodo 11y agoThat's my point. I'm rarely, if ever, in my browser on either of my iOS devices (iPhone 6 or iPad). If you're not writing a native app, don't bother. Facebook learned this lesson, I'm sure everyone else does eventually as well.
- untog 11y agoYeah, because the browser doesn't offer the capabilities needed to render native apps redundant. I'm not sure why we're talking in a giant circle here. Clearly, the "build for IE6 + Windows" of 2016 is "build for native iOS", which was the original point I was making.
- ryao 11y agoiOS apps are written in languages that have the ability to do equivalent things.
- msh 11y agoService workers seems like a performance and battery nightmare.
