Safari push notifications coming to macOS and iOS

PWA apps coming to the new Mac OS Sonoma. Nice!

Anyone trying macOS Sonoma or iOS 17? I'm downloading Sonoma right now.

No discernible changes in iOS 17 (related to push notifications and PWA).

I'm using macOS 14 now, and here's some screenshots of what the web app experience will be like:

If site is opened in regular Safari, there is an open in web app banner:



Here is my web app icon on the dock:



Settings menu from within the web app:





If you turn on 'show navigation controls', you'll have this bar at the top of the web app, which can also use the PWA color or not:



@Chris D -- kind of unrelated, but the verbiage on the banner after you already declined notifications once, is kind of strong. I don't know that all XF admins would tell their users that they strongly recommend turning them on, even after they already declined. Not a big deal and obviously easy enough to change the phrase, but do you want me to make a thread in the suggestions forum for this?

Installing PWA app no longer requires you to load Safari if you don’t normally use it. Just FYI…



Might be worthwhile to make the instructions to install PWA more generic.
