I am working on implementing a PWA which needs to send push notifications, we are looking at a solution for sending push notifications to browsers running on ios(We are using Firebase(FCM) for everything else.) What would be a good strategy to make push notifications on all platforms including ios?
We are looking at sniffing the user-agent and use FCM for non-ios users, switch to websockets for ios users. We aren't sure how viable this approach is gonna be. Any suggestions on this approach or a better alternative would be of great help!

Safari Push Notifications work just like push notifications for apps. They display your website icon and notification text, which users can click to go right to your website.
In the Safari app on your Mac, choose Safari > Preferences. Click Websites, then click Notifications. Deselect “Allow websites to ask for permission to send notifications.” From now on, when you visit a website that wants to send you notifications, you aren't asked.
Web Push is supported in Mac Safari beginning with macOS Ventura. And Web Push will be coming to iOS and iPadOS next year. Apple's Safari Push Notifications have been an option for reaching Mac Safari users for quite a while.
It looks like you can treat Safari like an APNS device: https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/NetworkingInternet/Conceptual/NotificationProgrammingGuideForWebsites/PushNotifications/PushNotifications.html
