Apple has confirmed that PWAs will be just a browser bookmarks from now on. Other browsers won't also have access to add (actual, not bookmark) PWAs. That is the main reason to not allow them. If other browsers can add powerful PWAs th

They have release notes for beta versions. Where they comment known bugs & changes. But yeah it is Apple.

Web is always best choice for your business. You will never know when Apple decides to change rules and your app is banned from store forever.

They have release notes, but they hide their changes. Just write some words to explain. It is not a rocket science.

Yeah, and my app got rejected because it links to other webpage...

That means it is intentional and not a "bug". It is 6 days since first reports. PR team should already given some answers.

Break all PWAs and refuse any comments is right thing to do?

I am waiting for fix in Safari PWA only bug for over a year now. (Bug is not present in browser Safari). In webkit bugtracker I can see that bug is fixed but it is waiting for Safari teams approval for a year now. @apple.com developers are

Apple is also refusing comments. Jen Simmons - Safaris "open web advocate" is also silent. Her social media is spammed with this issue.

But Apple said their App Store is so safe that you do not need to worry about these kind of scams

I work in company with 100+ PWA users where we had to buy cheap android phones because iOS PWA support is non-existing and every update makes PWAs worse. Native app is not possible, app stores rules do now allow to publish our app. We had &

You were right until iOS 16.4 (March 2023) Apple then allowed other browsers also to add sites to home screen. If it is not PWA, then it opens in default browser.

by sccxy 3y ago
Not a surprise. They haven't even tried to fix PWA bugs for over a year now.

Apple just killed PWAs in iOS 17.4 beta (at for least EU users) All PWAs now start in Safari window, as new tab, instead of fullscreen.

It just creates messy bookmarks. Greatest UX for search...

Okay, extensions or bookmarks must be used to create custom search. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39239822

Firefox for iOS supports keyword and %s url scheme for search engines. I am not sure why extensions are needed in desktop. You can change default search engine, but you cannot add extra search engines in Safari without building your own ext

Safari and Firefox does not allow other search engines also. For Chrome/Edge I have added a lot of small shortcuts for IMDB, post tracking codes, geoip and many more "not search" things to search bar. Just keyword and %s in s

Probably, it does not make any sense. If 6GB RAM iPhone runs out of memory, then how can it be better at memory management than Samsung phone with 3GB RAM, which does not run out of memory. My problem is 16MB (8000*5000px) images in web bro

Apple/Webkit support said that 16MB image is gigantic and not meant for web. (Big image js viewer - zooming and panning) But no problem for very old low end android phone or IE11 in 10 year old laptop...

How it is not comparable? 2017 phone does NOT run out of memory, but 2023 phone model RUNS out of memory? Newer phone is worse.
