Well, it does have a difference. You have full access to all native capabilities on the platform. That isn't true from a webapp. I'm not casting judgment on which is better but it is different. Actually, I wish this feature was a combination of install and run with parameter in a single step, controlled by the OS.
- diggan 7y agoTrue, but that's only true because of Apple wants it to be like that, not because there is some physical impossibility to integrate native platform APIs in the browsers.
- selectodude 7y agoYou can already code "native" iOS apps in React Native if you're so inclined. I can't really see a difference between devs coding against native iOS APIs in the browser that I end up having to download in order to use offline vs downloading apps coded against iOS API's downloaded natively from the app store.
- scarface74 7y agoSo if Apple single handedly ports native APIs to WebKit, how does that reduce lock in if Chrome doesn’t have the same standard?
