1. Nikola,

Hello,
iOS 17.4 has just been released.

For Playroom users, there are two important news, one good, and one bad.

To start off with the good news, Apple reverted their original decision, so Web apps will be available for the users inside the EU.
This means that whenever we stabilize the situation for sighted users and the new Web client becomes generally available, you will be able to use it full-screen as a progressive Web app, no matter where you are.

The bad news, the ARIA live region bug remains here even after the beta.
In short, and without any boring technical explanations, whenever incoming messages are read such as chat messages/game announcements, the most recent message will always be spoken, and it will interrupt anything else spoken before that message.

That's unfortunately extremely annoying, and other than Apple, nobody can do anything about that. We can hope that the next version will improve the situation…

With that info, you will hopefully know if you use a lot of Web apps that rely on automatic reading of incoming messages, and since they will be affected too, you can make a decision on whether to upgrade, or wait a little more.
