That said, they just denied an app I released (here on Google Play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pavlok.meetmaneesh https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pavlok.mee... , it syncs my content from different media sources around the web) was denied. They said it was too close to a web experience.
We've released several iOS and Android apps, and inside of our apps are mini-apps (different habits and behaviors our users want to change). The app we were attempting to make used React, which was giving us a headache.
The denial was annoying, but fortunately, iOS just enabled PWAs. It seems to my developers that the site is essentially Web technologies (HTML/CSS/JS) + a Manifest. By doing that, you can enable push notifications and offline access. Is that essentially it? Because that might solve the problem of making apps rapidly on multiple platforms for us.
- mephitix 8y agoPWAs are broken on iOS. Push notifications are not supported, and in general the experience is pretty bad. See this article for more details: https://medium.com/@firt/progressive-web-apps-on-ios-are-here-d00430dee3a7 https://medium.com/@firt/progressive-web-apps-on-ios-are-her... The worst is that if you are in a PWA, say in a page like /my/sub/page and navigate out of the PWA, like go to a different website or go to another app, and then come back to the PWA, it will reload and go to the / home page, destroying all state and routing.
