I guess websites will start asking users to add them "to the home screen", so they can later start asking permissions for push notifications...

But this is a different kind of problem and no reason to slow down the Push API standard.

I'm very happy that they also finally implemented things like Screen Wake Lock API so developers will no longer be forced to do silly things like play a fake video loop in the background to keep the app in focus.

Looks like Apple is finally going to give PWAs some love and it's a good thing overall.



It's actually pretty difficult to do something like that since an install is done through the OS and the app can't set off the process. I think it's too clumsy for most sites to try it.

Chrome does let you do it though.
