It's basically here. We've been using it in production for our clients for almost a year now.

The #1 reason we are moving away from iOS native to web app is because of Apple's policies and how convoluted the signing experience is.

Push notifications and install prompt have not landed yet/enabled by default AFAIK. Once that happens, I am seriously considering leaving the App Store.

I hate the review process, I hate having to use capacitor, I hate their billing APIs, and I hate having to have a Mac build pipeline.

"In Safari 16 in macOS 13 or later, Safari supports web push — push notifications that use the cross-browser Push API, Notifications API, and Service Worker standards."

Do PWAs have access to system things like being able to do background uploads and send system notifications?

We haven't encountered this use case yet with our product.

The only thing we ask for permission to use is the camera for purposes of imaging barcodes & documents. This seems to work really well, with the only caveat being that iOS will not grant access to most (any?) privileged resources unless the site is secured with TLS.
