Hey Jon,

For example, in iOS, you are not able to execute code while in the background, No Push Notifications etc, but in Android, you can.

And, If we talk about PWA compared with Native development, here is a list that shows you what you can/cant do with it.

Cheers!

Yeah - there's actually loads of stuff you can do. I would say the range of things you can do covers a good 70% of use cases for apps - maybe more. Most apps these days do not need to be native apps at all as their functional is fairly basic, I really don't know why people don't just create PWAs - the tech has been a around for a couple of years now and is now quite mature. I guess the main stumbling block is the slow/reluctant uptake by Apple - no doubt trying to safeguard their precious AppStore revenue model, which PWAs bypass entirely.
