I'm looking for the best software to convert my Progressive Web App (PWA) into an APK. My app requires a subscription for use, so I need to know if the native app will still support subscription functions after conversion. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

The Bubblewrap tool from Google is designed for packaging PWAs for the Play Store. It could be worth checking out! Just make sure it's still a valid option.
Honestly, I'm not sure about some of the software options out there. A lot of them feel like they're just wrapping a webview around your site. If you already have a React setup, consider building a simple React Native app as a webview – it'll give you more control and access to native features.
You might want to check out PWABuilder. It's a free tool that makes converting your PWA to an APK easy. If you're using web-based subscriptions like Stripe, those should work well. Just note that if you're planning to use Google Play for payments, you'll need to do some extra setup for that.
What if I go with React and TypeScript? How long would it take to create an APK?
