iOS Home Screen Web Apps “progressive web applications” (PWAs) …
eliminate the need to download a developer’s app through the App Store (or other means) at all. PWAs are increasingly available for and through mobile- based browsers and devices, including on iOS. PWAs are apps that are built using common web technology like HTML 5, but have the look, feel and functionality of a native app. Apple submission to Australian regulator

think we face on the web today as developers is iOS safari with its stagnation, bugs and apples support of PWAs. I know you’ve posted related stu ff but do you have any opinions on where stu ff should go from here? We’ve organized a group and have been preparing submissions for all the major regulators.

@brucel Browsers are powered by an ‘engine,’ which is fundamental
to browser performance.… Apple bans alternatives to its own browser engine on its mobile devices; a restriction that is unique to Apple. This restriction also seriously inhibits the capability of web apps – apps that run on a browser rather than having to be individually downloaded – depriving consumers and businesses of the full bene fi ts of this innovative technology. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/cma-plans-market-investigation-into-mobile-browsers-and-cloud-gaming

@brucel Storage Home Screen Web apps ran in a di

This means that if you were logged in to a Web app from the Home Screen, you need to log in again in the browser tab, and all previously stored data is gone. This includes any data stored in: • IndexedDB • LocalStorage • Media keys • SessionStorage • Service Worker registrations and cache • Origin private fi le system Home Screen Web apps were exempt from Safari's 7-Day Cap on All Script-Writeable Storage, but now they aren't anymore. Unless you use a Web app regularly enough, its data will be evicted from storage. https://blog.tomayac.com/2024/02/28/so-what-exactly-did-apple-break-in-the-eu/

because of the antitrust cases, they could put iTunes on Windows, sell iPods to every PC user in the world, and kind of the rest is history, right? That was a wildly successful business that funded development of the iPhone …, which if you recall back in those days too, the iPhone required iTunes in order to sync on your computer when, you know, the first few versions. Would that have been possible if Microsoft could have interfered with Apple’s business on PCs? https://vivaldi.com/blog/9-gene-burrus-for-a-better-web/

@brucel Chrom(ium) divestiture • DOJ wants to force Google to
sell Chrome and ban search engine revenue share deals with other browser vendors, resulting in a 70% drop in funding for the web platform. • Progress in new web features could stagnate, and the performance, stability of the existing web could deteriorate, risking its viability. • We estimate ending the Apple-Google deal alone could cut Google’s U.S. search share by 23–32%. • Mozilla could go bankrupt, killing Gecko, one of just 3 major browser engines. • Most Chromium-based browsers rely on Google’s funding to function. • The open web supports trillions in economic value and it’s mostly free to use. https://open-web-advocacy.org/blog/break-googles-search-monopoly-without-breaking-the-web/

@brucel • Consider making a Progressive Web App next time,
for cross- device joy, tasty HTML semantic goodness (h1 - h6!) and accessibility. • Follow and support Open Web Advocacy. • When regulators ask for information, tell them. Your voices will be heard. • Use an independent, European browser (contains devtools!)
