                  1. To anyone reading Apple's announcement to not break PWAs in the EU (but keeping them restricted to WebKit) as "the EU is okay with PWAs being restricted to Safari/Webkit": I don't think so. #PWApocalypse 1/n 🧵

                  What Apple has announced today is a(n update to their) plan to comply with the DMA. The EU won't actually do anything until March 7th (the compliance deadline ). 2/n

                The fact that the EU *did* do something following Apple's announcements just shows how obviously ludicrous those plans were. 3/n

              The EU recognized the urgency of the situation and acted [1] - If Apple would have shipped this update, many existing PWAs would've stopped working overnight... [1] The EU only announced they would start an investigation AFAIK, which !== actually enforcing anything. 4/n

            ...those apps would maybe jump ship and offer their PWA in the App Store (with no way back?) and the damage to the reputation of PWAs would have been done. 5/n

          Apple would've sent a message that *you can not rely on the web* to reach your customers on iOS. (and, by extension, anywhere, because few people build apps that won't work for 50% of the population of Europe) 6/n

        Nowhere does anyone say that the EU is OK with PWAs being restricted to WebKit. In fact, the DMA demands the opposite: Apple has to open up iOS to 3rd party browsers, and Apple can't self-preference Safari/WebKit for any of its features. Like, say, run PWAs. 7/n

      Apple removed PWA support so they would not have to open up the APIs to other browsers. Period. 8/n

    So, to circle back to "the EU is okay with PWAs being restricted to Safari/Webkit": 9/n

      I very much doubt it. Apple has announced a plan to comply, forgot to mention they were going to kill support for PWAs, then did confirm it (only took them 2 weeks), and now they backed down. 10/n

        We're back where we left off a month ago - and I believe the EU is very much going to have an opinion on the WebKit restriction Apple is trying to keep in place. 11/n
