Safari push notifications coming to macOS and iOS

[BassMan]

maybe get a new iPhone.

May I ask what iPhone you have? I'm on 11.

 

[Mr Lucky]

It’s a 12 pro

 

[BassMan]

Ah, it should work like a pro.

 

[Mr Lucky]

Ironically it works for me on Safari!

 

[BassMan]

I just tested it on Firefox and it works for me there too.

 

[Mr Lucky]

Works for me on chrome. Just not on this app.

Chrome Android is just a swipe with one finger from left edge of screen to right.

 

[Mr Lucky]

OK I got the swipe to work after gradually working my way down the screen. At 3/4 of the way down the swipe worked.

So I thought it had to be exactly the right spot. But when I tried again, ie tap on new then the thread then 3/4 way down it didn’t work

However I did get it a couple more times but seems only in a certain spot on the left, but no consistent place as far as I can tell.

 

[Chris D]

It works at any part of the screen

@Mr Lucky just upgrade to Android and be done with it.

Swiping the screen for me doesn’t go back a page, just highlights text sometimes.

Maybe I misunderstood. I’m on iPhone with 16.4.1 perhaps I need to wait for an update.

iPhone 13 Pro with 16.4.1 and it works. What I DID have to do (don't know why) is sign out of iCloud on the device, I rebooted then signed back into it again and PWA started working for me, along with the swipe left/right process.

Seems to be a known issue in some circumstances with iCloud and not specific to this one example.
I didn't need to do this on my devices for this specific case, but I've had other weird occurrences where sign out/in fixed the issues.

Yeah, I don't normally use my phone for browsing unless it's to look something up real quick when I'm doing some work and don't have a computer handy. I do have a shortcut to my site on it, and no matter how many times I deleted it and then recreated it, it was always with normal browser controls, even though the shortcut showed PWA on it (if I remember correctly).
I prefer to take care of most of my web based activity on a desktop, laptop or larger tablet (iPad Pro limited to certain things when I'm out working with the telescope since the battery life is great).

I just saw this on Reddit. I’m not smart enough to understand most of it, but is this anything useful for XF? @Chris D

Doesn’t seem like much point in implementing a new library for push notifications when we already have implemented push notifications.

The new back button is nice.

 

[BassMan]

Great, @Chris D! Like it!

 

[Mr Lucky]

The new back button is nice.

It’s lovely

Thank you thank you thank you @Chris D !

 

[Kirby]

The new back button is nice.

Actually it seems really annoying and redundant to me - my device (Samsung Galaxy S21 / Chrome) already does have a back button that is always visible.

 

[The Dark Wizard]

The back button is indeed nice.
