It's not as simple as just forcing it in. SW can require deeper integration with the OS and network stacks that we don't have the ability to change on iOS or macOS.
- inglor 9y agoThanks for answering. You are correct that they are under development but they're moving pretty slowly and I got the feeling contribution would be really appreciated. For example, `fetch` in service workers - caching and request intercepting could really improve the "default" iPhone experience in PWAs. I realize that getting this request is annoying (Build a feature in another browser) but I really think it could significantly push the web as a whole. It would also be great to see the Chrome team fix some of the more annoying bugs in the existing APIs (WebRTC has some really annoying ones).
