Hi everyone,
Is it possible to convert a web application UI (built in a studio) into a mobile app (APK/IPA) after it’s already created?
Not talking about responsive design, I mean an actual mobile application.
Any tools, frameworks, or options to make this conversion possible?

Hello @Athul , Yes, it is possible. In Studio, there is an option to enable **PWA** (Progressive Web App) in UI APP. Once you select that option and provide all the required details—such as the app name, icon, and description—you can configure and generate your application as a PWA.I will attach the documentation here

Thanks for sharing the details. I tried enabling the PWA option in Studio and followed the steps in the documentation, but it’s been stuck for over 3 hours.

Hello @Athul , did the issue start right after you toggled the enable button, or did it occur during some other action?

I clicked on the PWA toggle and clicked ‘Okay’ to confirmation popup, but it has been processing for hours since then.

Hello @Athul ,
Please try with a demo project and enable PWA for that. If the issue persists, we can raise a ticket so the team can look into it.
Before that, you can try the following to troubleshoot and verify:
- Ensure all the nodes are correct
- Restart Studio and try once again
- Test with a demo project to check if the issue is specific to your current project

I created a demo project where the PWA conversion works, but I need a solution for converting my existing project into an Android application.

Based on our discussion, if my understanding is correct, you are looking for an actual mobile application in APK format (for Android) or IPA format (for iOS), rather than a PWA. While a PWA offers an app-like experience, it is still browser-based.
It’s not possible to directly export an APK/IPA from Studio after building a web application. Studio’s **PWA** option makes the app installable, but it remains browser-based. To deliver a true mobile app, the existing web application would need to be wrapped in a native container using tools such as **Apache Cordova** , **Ionic Capacitor** , or **Trusted Web Activity** (Android). This would then allow it to be installed as an APK/IPA and published to the app stores.
I will let you know if any other approach is possible.
