Known Issues with iOS regarding the EU / DMA statement
Apple has issued a statement "Update on apps distributed in the European Union" regarding the support of "Home Screen web apps", which is their term for a PWA. It's essentially saying that Apple devices will not support PWAs on iOS (iPhone) devices, from version 17.4 (released in March of 2024), in the EU. Apple is stripping away core PWA features, including access to system APIs and offline capabilities.
On affected iOS (iPhone) devices
- Replayer will continue to work in general
- Replayer can not be loaded from the Home Screen. A browser bookmark is required.
- Files can not be shared with using the system sharing dialog. They must be opened from within Replayer explicitly.
- The offline working capability is broken, an internet connection is required at least on Replayer startup (via bookmark).
According to the current understanding, iPadOS (iPad) and macOS (Mac) devices will not be affected.
Known Issues with Apple Devices
- Devices with iOS v12 or below and iPadOS v12 or below do not properly support the sharing of tracks via the clipboard.
- Devices with iPadOS (all iPad devices) and some older iPhone devices do not support the track fullscreen mode, but only a full-page variant. A different icon visualizes this. Any video content can be played in normal fullscreen mode though.
