APPLE CONFIRMS IT’S BREAKING IPHONE WEB APPS IN THE EU ON PURPOSE

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Apple says it broke progressive web apps (PWAs) in the iOS 17.4 beta due to complexities involved with the Digital Markets Act's requirement to allow different browser engines. PWAs typically allow web apps to function and feel like native iOS apps. They now open like a bookmark saved to the Home Screen. PWAs no longer have dedicated windowing, notifications, or long-term storage. The changes will apply to all users in the EU beginning in March.
