If the lack of push notifications on iOS were the only thing forcing developers to create iOS apps, those same developers wouldn’t overwhelmingly be creating Android apps.

Where are all the developers who are being forced to create iOS apps but are “saving money” by not creating Android apps because PWA support is so good?




Most skip making apps all together because they rely on email notifications.


I agree. But if PWAs were good enough on Android, you should see, depending on your budget from largest to smallest:

1. Web, iOS, Android

2. Web, iOS - since PWAs are suppose to be “good enough for Android”.

3. Web

But you hardly ever see #2. Why is that?


Doesn’t matter. My point still stands. You keep repeating yours, while failing to see mine.


You’ve made a point without any evidence. If your point is that PWA’s could save developers money, rationally you should see developers saving money by only creating iOS apps and PWAs. Developers with real money on the line haven’t made that choice.
