Apple removes PWA support
Bruce on how Apple now seems to plan for breaking PWAs:
Presumably Apple doesn’t want PWAs to open in third-party browsers that have more powerful features than Safari, because those would directly compete with native apps in its own App Store. However, in the EU, it can’t privilege PWAs in Safari with its own private APIs any more. And so its solution, in its spirit of malicious compliance, seems to be “if we can’t have them, nobody can!”
(From: Bruce Lawson's personal site : Is Apple breaking PWAs out of malicious compliance?)
I loved to see Apple invest in web platform features and Safari a lot more in recent years. I hate to see the way they seem to want to place themselves above (what seems to
me is fair) European law.
