Apple reverses decision about blocking web apps on iPhones in the EU | TechCrunch
Apple has walked back their original plans to kill PWAs in the EU, so my original post no longer applies!
Voyager is the best PWA I’ve ever used. I’ve basically forgotten it’s a PWA. (I’m on iOS)

Jesus Christ, Apple…
I think it’s only if you use a WebKit based browser ?
“If” makes no sense here. It just works as it always has. You can’t uninstall WebKit from iOS. If you install Firefox and Firefox is now using its own renderer, that does not uninstall WebKit across the OS. Nor does it install a browser engine for apps to use.
All browsers are WebKit in iOS. Although this is going to change in this new version, the ability to add it to your home screen and function independently from Safari is what was being revised.
You’ve misunderstood. You’ll only be able to add a PWA to the Home Screen if it uses WebKit.
