Apple needs to reduce the 30% to 15% or less bring back PWA support. The only reason companies want to use other methods of payment systems is due to the 30% charge. If apple only charged maybe 10% it would even reduce the need to use 3rd party payment systems who knows. We need more developers to chime in and share their thoughts **@sevensolutions** · 3 upvotes > Very bad.. We wanted to start the development of a new mobile client based on PWA. Now we need to think about the technology again 🙈 **@hamzazafridi** · 1 upvotes > They went back on their decision and will continue to support PWA **@israperez98** · 0 upvotes > Why does Apple have to be like this? --- Tags: [#security](https://daily.dev/tags/security), [#webdev](https://daily.dev/tags/webdev), [#javascript](https://daily.dev/tags/javascript), [#ios](https://daily.dev/tags/ios), [#privacy](https://daily.dev/tags/privacy), [#pwa](https://daily.dev/tags/pwa) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/ios-17-4-update-ends-pwa-support-in-the-european-union-ertvy7ps3) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"iOS 17.4 Update Ends PWA Support in the European Union","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/ios-17-4-update-ends-pwa-support-in-the-european-union-ertvy7ps3","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/ios-17-4-update-ends-pwa-support-in-the-european-union-ertvy7ps3"},"datePublished":"2024-02-19T11:09:44.538Z","dateModified":"2024-05-09T09:28:18.744Z","description":"The latest iOS 17.4 update removed Progressive Web App (PWA) support in the European Union due to security challenges and compliance with the Digital Markets...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/431a87063977135b0e1ccb24a75b2290?_a=AQAEufR","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/431a87063977135b0e1ccb24a75b2290?_a=AQAEufR","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"DEV","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"DEV","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/devto","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/devto"},"commentCount":7,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/ios-17-4-update-ends-pwa-support-in-the-european-union-ertvy7ps3","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":18},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":7}],"keywords":"security,webdev,javascript,ios,privacy,pwa","timeRequired":"PT2M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"DEV","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/devto"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"iOS 17.4 Update Ends PWA Support in the European Union"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/ios-17-4-update-ends-pwa-support-in-the-european-union-ertvy7ps3","comment":[{"@type":"Comment","text":"To be honest this isn’t cool at all.
