“There are no silent pushes, so we can only update the app icon badge with a displayed push. Ideally, if you clear your notifications elsewhere, we automatically remove the badge on your phone. This isn’t possible with PWAs via push.”

Damn, is Apple doing these slight annoyances on purpose to degrade the user experience?

Does the Tin Man have a sheet-metal willy? Of course they are, it's typical Apple behavior to make it seem that anything non-apple is flawed in one way or another. It's to foster negative opinions towards PWAs so they can peddle iOS apps instead.

It's to degrade the developer experience to force you to native apps and the app stores for distribution

Weird, I saw mdn says safari support silent property of notification constructor. Does the article specify how it didn't work? Like does nothing at at even specified. Work in browser but not pwa, and so on?
