I can tell from the phrasing that you don't agree with Apple on that, but just want to respond anyway. Apple will still be sandboxing the browser engines, so even if Apple doesn't trust the browser vendors, this still isn't a logical argument against allowing them to run PWAs.
- simondotau 3y agoIt might not be practical for the OS to enforce sandboxes between multiple PWAs running on the same third party browser engines. Browsers are incredible resource hogs and loading many instances with perfect isolation enforced by the OS could result in a poor experience.
- redox99 3y agoOn Android I think PWAs do indeed share the same browser process. So it's like having another tab. Still, tab level isolation is taken extremely seriously by browser developers.
- stefanlindbohm 3y agoRuntime access, yes. But I’m assuming this is to also prevent cookie/storage sharing between PWA:s too, which third party browser vendors (well, Google) have incentive to allow and Apple wants to prevent.
- jfoster 3y agoDoes Safari sandbox between multiple PWAs running? Besides, shouldn't it be up to the browser engine to decide on sandboxing between PWAs? The important part for Apple should be that the browser engine itself is sandboxed from the rest of the OS.
