You should check out Apache Cordova. It allows you to host web apps as Android or IOS apps.

Check this SO post, I think you have a lot of option to this including:

Using Chrome for Android, it generates and sign .apk file using WebPack
Alternative solution is wrapping with Cordova kind of hybrid solution for distribution of PWA apps in apps store.
TWA(Trusted Web Activity), which was recently posted in the PWA documentation

Yes. You can use tools like PWA2APK, in order to convert existing PWA's to APK file, which in turn can be uploaded on Google Play store.

this is easy way to do it: https://github.com/xtools-at/Android-PWA-Wrapper You can build your APK, or even better: Android bundle, which has smaller size in google play store! It is free and you can choose your own app name. In PWA2APK it is paid.
