Looks good, thanks. Two more supporting resources for good measure:
- https://webkit.org/blog/13878/web-push-for-web-apps-on-ios-and-ipados/
- https://developer.apple.com/documentation/safari-release-notes/safari-16_4-release-notes#Web-Apps
- Added support for Web Push in web apps saved to the home screen on iOS.
- Added support for the "id" member in Web App Manifest files.
- Added support for the Badging API.
- Added support for third-party browsers to offer Add to Home Screen from the Share menu.
This is for "iPadOS 16.4 beta, and iOS 16.4 beta" but I think we can leave it as 16.4 👍🏻
