Are Apple App Clips Dead?

I've seen the Toast app clip pop up a few times when paying for dinner with a QR code. Seems like a neat idea and lets me avoid installing a whole app.

If they devoted a few cycles to improving mobile web development app clips would be 100% unnecessary. But a lot of money comes from the App Store.

Used one to pay for parking the other day. Was nice not to need to download an app.

I have yet to see an App Clip out in the wild

No, I think they’re just an underused feature. I’m building one.

until now I never saw one.. but I like the idea to use a feature without installing the whole app. But I think the developers must force users to use them?

I used an app clip for a restaurant menu once
