With the release of the first beta of iOS 18.2 to developers on Wednesday, Apple has published documentation for a new API that will let third-party browsers add web apps to the iPhone Home Screen using their own custom engine. This means that the entire web app experience will run using the same engine as the browser through which it was added.
Great, but nine months since Apple announced support in iOS 17.4, we’re still waiting for custom browser engines like Chrome’s Blink or Firefox’s Gecko to arrive.
