PWA on iOS are so far behind Android, it’s unbelievable.

Add to home-screen flow for a start, I actually wonder if the majority of iOS users even know it exists or is it just something developers know about 🤔 Android has the ability to check if the user has already “installed” the PWA and if not you can prompt them to do so without the awkward add to home-screen dance.

Once added to home-screen, clicking a link in any other application (notes/messages/email) iOS doesn’t recognise you have added the site to the home-screen so it proceeds to open in the browser rather than full screen/standalone view you would get when opening the home-screen shortcut directly, I believe this is not the case on Android.

Final straw, turns out any Safari extensions a user may have enabled will not work when launching your site from a home-screen shortcut, making it impossible to use nostore in a PWA
