This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
This is probably motivated by the EU decision that since no uses iMessage in the EU, Apple is not legally a "gatekeeper". Perhaps no one (i.e. fewer than 40 million people) uses web apps in the EU, therefore they are gambling that they are allowed to legally gatekeep in that market

I was starting to love pwa... But this is going to kill the momentum it was starting to have 😢
I like there hardware but I don't like what they do with it and what they do with the software
How will this affect the Lemmy client Voyager? Is it considered a web app? My understanding was that it was.
A lot of kerfuffle over not much. If you’re going to release a web app instead of a proper app, then I’m quite happy to have a bookmark to the web page instead of a bullshit fake app wrapping the same bookmark. Don’t clutter my phone with that garbage.
Well, I'm definitely not paying Apple $99 a year to be on their shit store, so I've opted for PWA. It's made as an app from the scratch, not really much different from a native app.
It's more than that - for example in Safari after seven days with a bookmark, all data the website stores on device is deleted.
With a PWA saved to your home screen, your data is kept until you delete the icon from your home screen.
Also, PWAs don't have a browser toolbar.
