PWAs demoted to OWB: Operating Within Browser
Concerns about this demotion of PWAs surfaced earlier this month, with the release of the initial iOS 17.4 beta. Asby Open Web Advocacy – a group that has lobbied to make the web platform more capable –"sites installed to the home screen failed to launch in their own top-level activities, opening in Safari instead."
Mysk, an iOS development business and occasional security research firm run by Talal Haj Bakry and Tommy Mysk, claims that Apple, rather than repairing PWAs, has doubled down by "We considered that Apple might try something like this, but dismissed it as too blatantly anti-competitive even for them," noted Alex Moore, executive director of Open Web Advocacy."Apple could come out and say this is unfinished or it's a bug, but if this functionality ever makes it onto users' devices, it will show that Apple is actively seeking to block the web from ever competing fairly with their App Store.
"Second take: this can't possibly be right; it must be a placeholder for some unannounced API that they feel backed into. Doing what this looks like would be a nuclear bomb."Third take: I'm not sure that reading the tea leaves matters much; this is entirely self-inflicted … they gave no time, no support, and no clarity.
