We're developing a service that requires webtransport support in the browser. Currently, the only browser that doesn't provide support is the IOS version of Safari.

Our current way forward for client use is to flag iphone and ipad as non compliant and recommend either desktop use or android.

Is there any ballpark date as to when WebTransport will be included in IOS Safari (- webkit supports webtransport)?

It looks like there was only some initial work done on WebKit: https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/pull/17320

Many features, like gRPC-web, ConnectRPC bidirectional streaming, are waiting on Safari to support WebTransport. I hope this feature gets implemented in Safari soon.
