Apple cripples Progressive Web Apps (PWA) for EU users

[Tim Curtis]

I think the way Apple is screwing their Web App users in EU is just appalling.

I have the update pending, so I'll tell you what's going on once it installs, as I'll probably force it tonight.

But why, WHY only us Europeans?!?

See, for example, https://9to5mac.com/2024/02/15/ios-17-4-...ean-union/

Apple is blaming the Digital Market Act.

Just more BS from Apple. They also claimed that it was "too difficult" to code IOS Web App support for Browsers other than Safari. Thats a shocking statement from Trillion dollar Apple who employs some of the best, most talented  software engineers in the world and who invented IOS.

What I see from whats been published about this mess is a giant, global monopoly retaliating against EU regulators forcing competition on them, but in this case their actions are only hurting their own users in the EU.
