Many EU businesses outsource web development to developers in countries outside the EU. #Apple should provide a method for non-EU developers to test or simulate the behavior of PWA apps as if they were EU users. Especially because Apple didn't allow developers much time before announcing this breaking change.
@cyclingfisch@mysk Push notifications are a direct consequence of installable web apps being removed, no? There’s nothing removed from PWA:s running in the browser as far as I have heard?
@voxpelli@mysk there are other consequences like the missing offline capabilities and the consequence that all local data will be deleted after seven days without touching.
Service Workers will still be around and still support offline mode in the browser? Just like it does now? No?
Persistent storage can still be requested and uses heuristics to allow that just like it does on eg Chrome. The difference is that Chrome does not delete local data of unvisited sites
@voxpelli@cyclingfisch The apps do open as normal websites, but developers outside the EU should be able to test that themselves. The cache is acting very weirdly. I will be testing on the Release Candidate and check if that has been fixed. I will publish a video about that.
@voxpelli@cyclingfisch Yes, the browser and all "bookmarks" added to the Home Screen share the same storage. But this is expected, because they are just bookmarks. I wasn't able to clear the cache. Nothing worked.
