iOS 17.4 is also an attack on crypto

Kiwi News's developer argues that Apple's iOS 17.4 update is a strategic attack on crypto apps that rely on Progressive Web Apps (PWAs). The update downgrades PWA functionality on iOS, which the author links to the EU's Digital Markets Act and browser-neutrality requirements. Under the update, installed Kiwi News PWAs will open as browser tabs rather than standalone apps, users who delegated upvoting power must re-delegate because the stored private key will be deleted, and push notifications will no longer be supported.
