That's why there are efforts to get platform companies to allow putting PWAs into their app stores. I think on Android it's already possible with a thin wrapper and with regulatory pressure it might be necessary for other platforms to enable that as well.

You can put PWAs in all the app stores today with a thin wrapper, I know, I do it for all my apps.

What is your preferred method of wrapping? No resistance from Apple? I've read of many instances of wrapped PWAs not getting approved for the app store. I guess mileage may vary

I use Capacitor (via Quasar, though you will only want to use this if you use Vue and like Quasar, else maybe look into Ionic if you sue React or Angular). If you don't use a framework or don't want to use Quasar/Ionic then you can use Capacitor "raw" but I've not done that before.

Thanks. I was considering Capacitor. It looked a bit heavy. Really dreading this process to be honest. I'm hoping we can convert the majority iOS users to installing the PWA and have that hold long enough to either go native or better PWA support on iOS. Not holding my breath for the latter.

Not for Apple/iOS!

I have over 10 apps in the Apple App Store store using Capacitor without any issues.
