To reproduce: 1) Open a web page that uses a touch event (touchStart, touchEnd, touchMove...) 2) Touch events work fine 3) Go to the home screen - placing Safari in the background 4) go back to safari 5) touch events continue to work 6) Add the website to the homescreen 7) Open the PWA 8) Touch events work fine 9) Go the the home screen - placing the PWA in the background 10) Go back to the PWA 11) touch events no longer respond Update still happens, so I've even tried adding code to re-add the touch listeners as part of the update. That does not work either. So I think, it is beyond just losing the touch event listener. I think something has broken them when you switch to another app and back. Touch events work fine in safari and work fine on android when a chrome web page is saved as a PWA, so I do not think it is developer error. 1770364 1 webkit-bug-importer 2021-06-16 13:42:18 -0700 <rdar://problem/79413969>
