Open Letter to Tim Cook: Sabotaging Web Apps Is Indefensible

Open Letter to Tim Cook: Sabotaging Web Apps Is Indefensible

For context, Apple has recently been forced to obey EU regulations and decided to be maliciously compliant in doing so. They argue that they cannot support both multiple browsers and progressive web apps for safety reasons because there is no way to know that those other browsers will treat permissions in the same safe way safari does, breaking the trust and safety of the web. They also mention that in order to have safe PWAs they would have to introduce “an entirely new integration architecture” which they noted their team wouldn’t make the investment into given that so few people use PWAs currently and because apparently Apple doesn’t have enough developers to build the “integration architecture” that would be required.

Most people don’t use PWA’s because Apple hasn’t even supported push notifications on PWAs at up until about a year ago while android supported notifications for almost a decade, since 2015. And still the web push notification support is largely incomplete — not implementing several functions within the Push API specification.

Please take the time to sign the above petition if you appreciate having an open, free, cross platform, and largely unmoderated app distribution channel. You can read more about Apple’s plan for the EU here: https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2024/01/apple-announces-changes-to-ios-safari-and-the-app-store-in-the-european-union/

And here is the direct statement from the Apple article linked above addressing Progressive Web Apps:

The iOS system has traditionally provided support for Home Screen web apps by building directly on WebKit and its security architecture. That integration means Home Screen web apps are managed to align with the security and privacy model for native apps on iOS, including isolation of storage and enforcement of system prompts to access privacy impacting capabilities on a per-site basis.

Without this type of isolation and enforcement, malicious web apps could read data from other web apps and recapture their permissions to gain access to a user’s camera, microphone or location without a user’s consent. Browsers also could install web apps on the system without a user’s awareness and consent. Addressing the complex security and privacy concerns associated with web apps using alternative browser engines would require building an entirely new integration architecture that does not currently exist in iOS and was not practical to undertake given the other demands of the DMA and the very low user adoption of Home Screen web apps. And so, to comply with the DMA’s requirements, we had to remove the Home Screen web apps feature in the EU.

My latest comic for The Nib was written by my friend Mike Thompson- it’s his first published comics work! 

The Nib has been a steady source of income and a huge support to me and many other indie cartoonists for years. They publish amazing work, but will be cut loose by their financial backer in July. You can read the official post about it from editor Matt Bors here.  They are still running their kickstarter-funded print magazine, but have to put digital publishing on hiatus until they figure out their next steps. If you’ve been thinking about supporting their membership program, now would be a good time. They have levels from $2 to $40 per month. I really don’t want this to be my last Nib piece!
