just wanna confirm that, safari for ios does have pwa support...but safari for macOS does not ?

that's kind of ridiculous and unfortunate, especially for caching and being able to use web apps offline afaik.

is there any workaround ? Hoping they add it with macOS 14
 
What it means to be a PWA is a mushy concept that has changed over time.

Do you mean the ability to install one into the /Applications/ folder and have it run in its own window separate from Safari?
 
ICYDK, we have something similar now in macOS Sonoma. You can add any website as an app but user has to explicitly go to File > Add to Dock to do so. It'll open in a custom Safari context with no browser chrome (if the manifest for the website/app says so) so it feels like an app. It'll be available in Spotlight as well.
