I've had an idea for an adult oriented app, that many many people have told me they'd pay for and support, but it'd need push notifications to work (preventing it from working in a browser), and Apple is such a walled garden that you can't even sideload an app the way you can in Android (or any desktop OS). It's quite frustrating to see the way they get to shape culture.
- saagarjha 8y agoYou can sideload on iOS but it’s annoying and you’re not likely to get paying customers to jump through the necessary hoops.
- perilunar 8y agoYou can do push notifications in browsers. See: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Push_API https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Push_API
- phreack 8y agoYeah, but it's not supported on iOS' Safari. You need the user to install a native app for them to be able to receive notifications, and it looks like they're years away from implementing that on a browser. So it's App Store or bust.
