Description

The PWA to APK Plugin addon generates an Android APK package from the app configuration already created on the site, reusing information such as the manifest, icons, and the identity of the installable app. In the Progressive Web Apps ecosystem, this extension helps administrators, agencies, and digital projects bring the PWA experience to Android users in app format, without rebuilding the mobile presence from scratch.
