      Web push notifications currently do not work on Apple iPhones, iPads, etc. using the default Apple Safari web browser.

      For notifications to work here, the site needs to support being a Progressive Web App, which means setting up a web app manifest for the board.

      While this is necessary for push notification's on iOS, it's also just good to have in general. Even if you don't wanna use push notifications, it's still a better experience on iOS when users add a site to their home screen. Without a web app manifest, it's just a bookmark. But with this manifest, the site opens and function's like it is its own full-screen app, not something running in Safari.
