I don't offer a native app for my business. We have a PWA. It works great on mobile. Yet users keep asking for an app. They're so conditioned to look in the app store now. I keep having to tell them to just pin the website to their desktop. Just a couple taps. All good.

I don't need or want their data. It's a liability. They pay a monthly subscription. I want their money. Not their data.

Why not create a simple app with a webview so your users are happy? I can't imagine that would take more than a couple hours of work. Google can be burdensome but that's only if you require things like payment and data collection in the app which a webview doesn't need. Otherwise, it's probably less than an hour of work per year to maintain.

iOS app store would reject an app like this, according to their guidelines. At least Google allows you to put PWA as apps in the Play store

4.2 Minimum Functionality

Your app should include features, content, and UI that elevate it beyond a repackaged website.
