This is why PWA is important: Google cannot ban a website!

Also, the author should make sure to publish their app on non-Google App Stores and remind users that they still have a choice.

And for those questioning on why the author is upset if they're still on the iOS store: Android is about 85% of the global market, and about 2/3rds of the US devices.

iOS is this weird dying phone OS that Apple is keeping alive even though there really aren't that many users.

I don't think it should be given the priority developers give it, but 15% globally and 30% in the US are a lot of people.

They're also far more eager to spend than Android users.


yeah, but Apple has always been it's own worst enemy. Jobs and it had this co-dependent relationship, and I think they are in long term decline now that he isn't there to rein in their worst excesses and insist on certain things.

But they can make them really difficult to find.

lol. There are more than a billion iOS users worldwide…


I was thinking more in the sense that they're unlikely to ban a domain in their PWA Android connector or in Chrome.

Doing that would be a leg cannon.
