If only it included Web Push API capabilities. But of course, Apple won't do that, as then developers wouldn't have to beg to be in their app store, and pay a 30% commission on any payments.
I would have more respect for Apple if they just came out and said it, but the fact they haven't mentioned it at all, is just cowardly.
- pfraze 5y agoI specifically came into the comments to see about this, and am disappointed. It’s the biggest feature PWAs can provide and would really reduce the pressure to create native apps.
- havernator 5y agoI hope they never enable it. Watching people in my life “use” that feature, I wouldn’t be surprised if well over half if web push messages are sent to people who don’t know how they got enabled, or how to disable them (they just clicked away an annoying pop-up on a site they’d never, ever want messages from, not realizing what they did)
- turblety 5y agoI would have though the same, but of all people I know who use Android, this hasn't been an issue.
- havernator 5y agoIt’s mostly been desktop I’ve seen have this issue (including macOS). Maybe the UI is better on mobile so click-yes-to-make-the-annoying-popup-go-away-oops-now-you-get-push-messages isn’t an issue.
