Try and do it. if you run into a deal breaking issue with PWA features, then wrap it in a minimalist app shell.
Best case: everything works on Android and iOS and it's also a website.
Worst case: you will end up doing some platform specific code and dealing with the app stores like you were going to do anyway.
Average Case: everything will work on android and some things will be broken on iOS.
Unfortunately you can't just ship a PWA with no wrapper. You have to build a special wrapper app that hosts the PWA and you have to use Android Studio and Gradle and all that crap.
Updating the wrapper is surely still easier than a whole app, but it's nontrivial and it's frustrating to still have to deal with the platform BS for a pure web app that uses no platform APIs at all. More work than I wanted to deal with for a hobby project, anyway.
You can… but it won’t be in the Play Store. Disqualifying for many, but not all.
I don't think so.
Even now if I need a "native" app I'm looking very seriously at React Native first before rolling two totally separate apps in different languages.
