What is the best way to maintain a session cookie when a web app is added to home screen? Right now I take people to a secret URL with long generated token so the web app will also have it and be able to correlate the two. Yes I can have the user re-sign-in with credentials, or webauthn, but seems overkill. Also can Apple add some sort of thing like Chrome has “beforeinstallprompt” to actually show an install promopt?

> beforeinstallprompt Apple's philosophy is that it needs to be on the home screen, and that popups prompting users to install the app were a mistake (many people will allow notifications and app installs just to dismiss prompts). Making people do a song and dance should reduce the potential for "your grandparents" accumulating an infinity gauntlet of spam notification PWAs.
