Can PWA mobile app participte?

Google and Apple app stores are great, but there's new tech called PWA. It's basically browser app which can be install as a mobile app. It looks like html5/react native app but doesn't require any sort of app stores. The advantage that it can't be delisted (like trusty wallet got delisted because of some Dapp access).
It's very important for crypto-related projects because there's big conflict of interest for Apple/Google since they can 30% taxes crypto-transaction which happens inside the app, as they usually do for normal app. So sooner or later that would be big issue.

  I agree with you about how it should work in the future. But this contest is only for Android and iOS app stores. Web apps are a bit tricky. With Android and iOS apps our SDKs can store and encrypt the private keys safely on a users phone. A web solution will definitely be available in the future, but for now you must use the app stores. Thanks!

  I am having the exact same concern.
  It seems you are exploring browser support:
  - https://github.com/kinecosystem/js-kin-sdk
  - https://github.com/kinecosystem/kin-sdk-js/
  Would one of these SDK allow me to use Kin in a PWA, and then publish it on a store (following steps from this article https://dev.to/jumpalottahigh/how-to-publish-a-pwa-on-the-google-play-store-2bid )?
  And if so, any chance to get some help from Kin or you are exclusively focusing on native mobile apps for now?
  Thanks
