Web Push notifications with iOS 11.3

Question

EDIT - MARCH 2023 ITS HERE iOS With 16.4

---

With the release of iOS 11.3 and it's inclusion of service workers, I have been trying to find information about whether or not web push is also available now, particularly for the usage in PWA's.

Does anyone have any knowledge on this or know where I can find the information.

I Currently use Onesignal for my push notification package and it works very very well for browser and Android. So here is hoping that if it is supported now, they get it up and running fast.

Answer 1

As of today, in iOS 16.4, Web Push is available to web apps after being added to the home screen.

Its finally here. https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT213407

Answer 2

Bad news : Apple has included services worker but not Push API so you can't receive push notification.

How does this not answer the question? He asked if web push is available in iOS 11.3, and this answer was clear, accurate, and included a source. – Pessimism

--> Fkc Apple <-- – Succinic

Answer 3

Good news -- Apple finally announced that Web Push for iOS is coming in 2023!

Web push notifications: Adds support for opt‑in notifications on iOS. Coming in 2023.

Since this question is tagged with OneSignal, OneSignal has announced that they will also support iOS Web Push once Apple makes it available.

I am following the roadmap of the webkit and it seems they are working on it:

Hopefully by end of the year, It will be released in production.

How is the feature "manifest" relevant to Web Push Notifications??? I don't think it is related is it? – Martinez

manifest is used along with the service workers, which are tied in with web push. – Gusella
