It's telling that Service Workers and Web App Manifest remain unimplemented by Apple but they are releasing a (proprietary) payments API, as though it's a bigger need.

- stqism 10y agoWeb app manifests have been supported since Safari 4. http://caniuse.com/#search=Appcache http://caniuse.com/#search=Appcache
- dlbucci 10y agoI think he's referring to the newer manifest.json files: https://www.w3.org/TR/appmanifest/ https://www.w3.org/TR/appmanifest/
- glenndebacker 10y agoWhich is still an unstable draft, so I don't see the point in using it today. Service workers are nice but nothing earth-shattering, there are more interesting features in development at the moment: https://webkit.org/status https://webkit.org/status. According to the list they are also considering implementing service workers so it is not all drama.
- oldmanjay 10y agoWith your phrasing, I get the feeling you've mistaken your needs for the needs of an incredibly large corporation. It's pretty common on sites like this, and usually popular, but to what end?
- threeseed 10y agoEspecially given that Apple's obligation is to their users not web site developers. Service Workers from what I've seen would consume quite a significant amount of battery life and prevent Safari from sleeping under most conditions.
- SimeVidas 10y agoOne could argue that it is a bigger need. A web app can work fine most of the time, even if it’s not offline-ready, but if payments aren’t seamless, you have a big problem.
