A lot of use-cases like e.g. chat apps, depend on that kind of technology.
- rpastuszak 7y agoThis will happen as late as possible as it’d provide an alternative to a large chunk of native apps (so no way to charge the Apple tax).
- avalys 7y agoThe Apple tax is what exactly, in this case?
- yohannparis 7y agoThe 30% cut when selling on the Apple App Store.
- briandear 7y agoThere is a 0% cut for free apps.
- teddyfrozevelt 7y agoDevelopers still have to pay $100 a year, and own something that runs Xcode.
- ShamelessC 7y agoDon't they take a 30% cut from in-app purchases? I would assume many would try to get around that with a progress web app.
- rpastuszak 7y agoYes, for instance YT or Spotify subscriptions would cost you 30% more when purchases via IAP. Spotify is NOT ok with that (I think they disabled IAP). However, Google does allow for that. Protip: Tapping `<button/>` elements is 23% cheaper than tapping `UIButton`s, which is something I realised looking at my YT bill one day.
- zelly 7y agoSupporting web push would make Apple responsible for sending all kinds of malware and spam down their pipe. Anyone can access the push service, authenticated by Safari. I think it would look bad for their brand to have notification spam under the "Safari" logo.
