And thank God for that! I don't want websites in Safari to have the APIs available to a native app!
- la_oveja 6y agoYou would be asked to give permission to these APIs, just like you do in a normal web browser.
- jedberg 6y agoMe neither! That's why we need 3rd party app stores.
- inetknght 6y ago> Me neither! That's why we need 3rd party app stores. Nope, not at all. You want 3rd party app stores because: 1) you don't believe Apple's walled garden is worth a 30% cut 2) you dislike Apple's lack of transparency in their app review procedures 3) you're unable to sideload an app onto your "customer's" devices One or more of those are why you "need" third party app stores. And, I think you've got a valid argument for any of them. But none of those have anything to do with what APIs are available to websites in Safari.

- arthurcolle 6y agoYeah, forcing you to buy apps in Apple's walled garden. Such an uninformed take.
