It's not true. According to a follow-up tweet:

> Sites that had some PWA information provided - such as an iOS icon - would be added as PWAs even though they weren’t. They have tightened up things so that only sites that are explicitly configured as PWAs will be added as such.

We’ve had more than 10 people test it, and it completely breaks all PWAs. Why are you trusting some randoms tweet as a credible source?

You're just some random commenter on Hacker News, why should I trust you?

If you want to disprove the claim, the tweet needs to say, "I live in the EU, have the update installed on my phone, and I just successfully installed this PWA."

This is thoughts and prayers, not a counterexample.

All of the PWAs on my iPhone running 17.4 will now open in Safari instead of in fullscreen, and iOS itself warned me the first time I opened a PWA from the home screen after installing 17.4 that iOS will now open all „linked websites“ in the „configured default browser“.

They’re obviously trying to prevent companies from bypassing their extortion proposal in response to DMA by simply offering a PWA to users that can work around the „core tech fee“..
