Is the situation that different on android? AFAIK anyone can ship a full fledged browser there. But I got the impression that native apps are just a heavily favoured as on iOS.
Can someone explain how they “handicap” safari? If they are handicapping it, somehow every website I frequent has gotten around the issue at least well enough that I am not forced to go for an app experience.
Not just Safari but all web browsers on iOS, they all have to be webkit...all are handicapped to push users to apps from the app store.
I don't get it everyone and their VCs is forcing you to build native apps because they can extract more data than from an PWA or website. They could allow every rendering engine and they would still force you to install the app. The only exception might be telegram their mobile pwa is quite nice.
That’s because the web is handicapped on iOS. If web was as capable, of course they wouldn’t stress apps as much.
