--- Comment #9 from Nicolas Hoizey <nicolas at hoizey.com> ---
The main issue IMHO is that many iOS Safari users don't know at all that “To add a web app to the home screen, the user goes to the share menu and add it from there”.

I get why webkit is reluctant to adding the `beforeinstallprompt` event, or allowing the `prompt()` without constraints, because there would be abuses, like with notifications and other APIs.

But at least there should be an easier way than the share sheet for people to know that web sites can be added to the homescreen. This is not a “sharing” action at all.
