To install a PWA on iOS, you have to: - Navigate to the site - Open the menu - Click "share" (wtf!?) - Click the SECOND "more" ellipsis icon (not the first!) - Click "add to home screen" - Click the "Add" button This is, to me, unacceptably byzantine. Just deliberately hostile on Apple's part.

Apple was adamant on ending support for PWAs in the EU about two years ago, but had to backtrack after the backlash and after EU threatened to have them investigated

Thank you. Sounds like Apple’s concern was that DMA terms required them to implement the much more permissive Android-style PWA, allowing deep HW access, arbitrary data storage, etc. They reversed course when the EC assured them it would be sufficient to limit PWAs the more secure WebKit engine.
