Apple is reversing course on a plan to discontinue supporting the installation of progressive web apps in the European Union. In an update to a developer support page spotted by 9to5Mac<\/em>, Apple says it will \u201ccontinue to offer the existing Home Screen web apps capability in the EU\u201d in iOS 17.4.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

However, Apple notes that homescreen apps will still \u201cbe built directly on WebKit,\u201d the engine used by Safari. This means web apps downloaded from third-party browsers like Google Chrome or Firefox may not be powered by their own engines \u2014 despite Apple adding support for third-party browser engines in the EU in the same update.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cDevelopers and users who may have been impacted by the removal of Home Screen web apps in the beta release of iOS in the EU can expect the return of the existing functionality for Home Screen web apps with the availability of iOS 17.4 in early March,\u201d Apple writes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Apple confirmed its plans to drop iOS web apps in the EU in February, a move that would severely limit their functionality by preventing them from sending push notifications and storing data. At the time, Apple blamed the decision on the Digital Markets Act (DMA), as it would have to build \u201can entirely new integration architecture\u201d\u00a0that \u201cwas not practical to undertake\u201d given the changes it\u2019s had to make to comply with the DMA. But now, Apple says it\u2019s reversing the decision after it \u201creceived requests\u201d to continue supporting the feature. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n[ad_2]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
