How to build a TWA Android app out of your Nuxt.js PWA

Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) can be packaged into Android apps and published on the Google Play Store using a method known as Trusted Web Activity (TWA), which allows them to function similarly to native applications. This process, which does not require writing Java code, involves converting a PWA built with Nuxt.js into an APK file that can be uploaded to the Play Store. By using the official Nuxt PWA module, developers can easily integrate necessary components like service workers and push notifications, ensuring the app meets Google's Lighthouse criteria for performance and installability. The TWA utilizes Custom Tabs to render PWAs within an Android app, maintaining shared cookies with the Chrome browser for seamless user authentication. To facilitate this transformation, developers can use the nuxt-twa-module, which helps configure the app settings and generates the files needed for building the application. Once the Android app is built, it can be signed and uploaded to the Google Play Store, where it undergoes a review process before becoming available for download.
