   “Apple broke web apps in iOS 17 beta and hasn’t fixed them • The Register”

   What a fucking shit show. With shenanigans like this Apple is punishing both the end users and—if we are to be honest—the Safari team, because it’s their hard work that’s being disabled https://www.theregister.com/2024/02/08/apple_web_apps_eu/

     @aral Yeah, PWA installed to the home screen are essential if you want actually working offline apps. Hard to see how this isn’t malicious compliance esp. since that’t their play for everything else they’re doing (alt app store requirements, weird web engine reqs, etc.)
