Apple Drops Home Screen Web App Support in EU Due to DMA Compliance

Apple's decision to remove Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) from iOS Home Screens in the European Union is a direct response to the new Digital Markets Act regulations.

Apple confirms the removal of Home Screen web app support in the EU, citing the Digital Markets Act (DMA) as the reason.
The change affects Progressive Web Apps (PWAs), limiting them to browser windows without standalone app functions like push notifications.
Developers express significant concern over the impact on user experience and service delivery.
Critics accuse Apple of using the DMA as an excuse to maintain control over the app ecosystem, despite security concerns.
Apple's move has sparked backlash from the web development community, highlighting the tension between regulatory compliance and technological innovation.
