So, Safari is the new IE6 of web browsers.

[Tim Sweeney @TimSweeneyEpic]

I suspect Apple’s real reason for killing PWAs is the realization that competing web browsers could do a vastly better job of supporting PWAs - unlike Safari’s intentionally crippled web functionality - and turn PWAs into legit, untaxed competitors to native apps.

[Open Web Advocacy @OpenWebAdvocacy]

It's official

Apple is killing PWAs on iOS for EU users

"To comply with the DMA’s requirements, we had to remove the Home Screen web apps feature in the EU.

－"Very low user adoption of Home Screen web apps"
－"Minimal impact to their functionality"

Time to go ☢️

I just published a new article on the situation of Apple disabling PWAs in iOS 17.4 beta release

In the biggest, life-changing update for Web App developers everywhere, Safari/Webkit has released:
* Push Notifications
* Badging
* Third-Party Browser support for Web Apps
* Integration for managing notifications

We'd like to say a huge thank-you to the Webkit team♥️

[Open Web Advocacy @OpenWebAdvocacy]

Apple is so adverse to competition that it would rather take the UK regulator to court on administrative technicalities than reverse their ban on third party browsers and support Web Apps.

@passle_ @tomayac @kennethrohde @quicksave2k @pendelhavengame also something I noticed was that on the same device an older PWA without any maskable icons in the manifest didn't have the same problem. So it seems related to how Samsung handles these maskable icons in their OS.

[Mirco @mircostraessle]

@passle_ @tomayac @kennethrohde @quicksave2k @pendelhavengame No it was a completely unrelated PWA but it also used maskable icons similar to the screenshot you posted.

[Mirco @mircostraessle]

@passle_ @tomayac @kennethrohde @quicksave2k @pendelhavengame I saw the same problem on a samsung galaxy S22 after an OS update in the last month or two. Haven't found a solution though.
