Hopefully Apple keeps moving in the direction of better embracing PWAs. I am encouraged that iOS 16 includes support for web push notifications. This suggests to me Apple may be more willing to embrace PWA web standards.


I just really hope the onboarding experience is improved. Right now it's very convoluted and messaging is extremely difficult, in some places impossible.

For example, in SFSafariViewController there is no “add to home screen” button in the share menu, but in actual safari there is. Despite them both being web view experiences controlled entirely by Apple.

(And you can’t detect SFSafariViewController vs Safari as a web app, so good luck onboarding users for your PWA.)
