Yes, however the EU enacted new regulations to put a stop to that practice, so that Apple will be required to allow other browsers on their platform.

Disabling PWAs is how Apple has chosen to retaliate against those new regulations.

@sabreW4K3 @boredsquirrel What do you use instead?

I've read through your comments and it seems like your primary concerns are:

  1. you believe users "trust" apps and "distrust" websites, and PWAs trick a user into a false sense of trust, and the user's personal feelings are somehow relevant to the security of the software

  2. you believe that it is possible to bundle a browser engine, customized by the PWA developer, that will be installed with the PWA and the PWA will run inside of

I'm going to need a source on 2

I could be wrong, but I think you are simply mistaken because there should be absolutely no possible way for the PWA to install a browser engine onto your device? The user can first install the browsers of their choice, separately, and then install PWAs using that browser.

That would be a huge concern and really contradict the entire point and purpose behind PWAs as I understand them... I've been searching but can't find anything like what you say. I'd love to see your source

"How is a piece of software that runs in the browser instead of directly in the os... less secure than a website?"

The question answered itself 😂
