- SparkyMcUnicorn 9y agoIt depends on the sensors you need access to. An iOS PWA has access to Geolocation, Magnetometer, Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Camera, Audio, Apple Pay, etc.
- osrec 9y agoAlso bluetooth on Chrome.
- Klathmon 9y agoAssuming the audio happens after user interaction within what iOS consiters "one event" and/or the camera is used within a safari tab and NOT "added to home screen" (once you do that getUserMedia does not work any more). Until iOS gets their shit together and makes it so that adding a glorified bookmark doesn't remove features, it's not a real viable option.
- rhacker 9y agoThat may be, but I tend to see soo many apps now days that just need basic rendering. I almost wish there was a revolution to go back to when the IOS app store just installed links to URLs. It's so terrible inside phonegap apps such that apps simply can't save my f-ing password! Instead of building out more mobile features to complete the progress made by HTML5 we keep going back to native apps for no reason. Yes I get that there is a certain class of apps that MUST be native, but I would argue the bulk of apps don't need this.
- ggg9990 9y agoYes, but half the apps just need to maintain state without logging in.
- osrec 9y agoYou're not wrong, but I see this becoming a smaller issue as time progresses. Browsers are adding features all the time and I can see this one being resolved soon as lots of devs are asking for it!
