Push notifications progressive web app on iOS

Question

I need to develop a progressive web app with push notifications integrated. Searching on the web I have found diverse opinions about this subject. If I have understood correctly, for now, we cannot have push notifications in safari for mobile (but only for Desktop). Is it right?

Do you have any suggestions to obtain the same result (I am not an iOS expert)? I was wondering that maybe developing a native app only for push notifications purposes could be a good choice until push notification will be ready also for safari mobile.

P.S. I am developing the PWA using Angular 2.

Thank you for the support.

Solution

Unfortunately, based this post and also this the latest iOS version(13.3) still doesn't support some features of progressive web app:

• Web Push Notification
• Background Sync
• Page Lifecycle
• Service Workers on WebViews
• Universal Links / Link Capturing

Until now, no news that says will be implemented on the next version 14. As I said in the old post, I think iOS doesn't want to support these in PWA because these features have a bigger chance to be unnecessary exploited(spam, etc). And also maybe they want to force developers to create the native application rather than the progressive web application.
