Unlike Android, TWA support is not available in Apple platforms yet. So for publishing PWA to apple app store, I presume we have to use WKWebView. I could find these two approaches:
- Hybrid app package: Make a hybrid app using Cordova or Capacitor. These will provide an app wrapper to bundle your app's assets with IPA. But currently, it does not support service workers.
- PWA launcher: Using WKWebView and AppBoundDomains (recently released, available in iOS14). With this, we can launch the browser app in standalone mode. More info on this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LELAuNihs18

We used pwabuilder.com to generate swift projects for our applications.
After some tweaking (mostly oauth flow, cookies and external resource handling), we were able to publish multiple 100% web-based apps to the App Store.
As it is still a regular swift app, there is an ability to add any swift-based components to/instead of any routes (for example, we added native animated loader screens, which are shown while waiting for the SSR to load), as well as to handle notifications.
P.S. we use bubblewrap for TWA android build. It requires very little configuration, so we do not care much about reusing non-web codebase across the platforms.

Yes it's possible to get a PWA in the app store, they're just stricter about it https://docs.pwabuilder.com/#/builder/app-store I haven't done it yet but my understanding is that you would submit, possibly get rejected, fix whatever they said the problem is, then resubmit - do this until it works. If they're really not letting you in for some reason, you can always try packaging your code with capacitor or Cordova. Apple finally added support for push notifications in PWAs this year, which indicates they are warming up to PWAs
