You do no know that you can disable notifications on iOS right? Ever since they first added them.
Apps should not die. They provide an infinitely better user experience, battery efficiency and many more capabilities.
To the contrary, web apps should die (or maybe move to a separate medium) as they go against what the web was designed for - web apps are horribly bad for search-ability, archival and accessibility.
- hartator 6y agoMost of the apps out there are just webview of a web app.
- alickz 6y agoThose apps, if they exist, are explicitly against Apple's App Store policy. Usually they don't pass review. https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#minimum-functionality https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#min...
- nikitaga 6y agoThis section seems to be against repackaging websites, not web apps. People ship Cordova apps all the time.
- folkrav 6y agoI would be curious to see your sources on this. Last I checked the overwhelming majority of applications were actually native. [1] https://insights.dice.com/2018/04/09/ios-developers-app-store-play-store/ https://insights.dice.com/2018/04/09/ios-developers-app-stor...
- kevincox 6y ago> web apps are horribly bad for search-ability, archival and accessibility And iOS apps are somehow better? Also accessibility is quite good on the web, but I think iOS does a good job here too.
- astrange 6y agoiOS apps are searchable with the system search, if they choose to export data to it. Web apps can be searchable of course, but it’s a lot more work if you can’t just expect Google to index the page.
- rimliu 6y ago> Also accessibility is quite good on the web That would be funny if it was not so sad.
- saagarjha 6y agoI find native apps to consistently be more accessible than web apps.
