TWA vs Capacitor — which build you get, and why
The single technical decision that determines whether your app passes Google Play review is the shell type. SaasToStore makes it for you from your PWA score, but here is what happens under the hood. A Trusted Web Activity (TWA) renders your site with the device's Chrome engine in full-screen, with no browser UI — it is fast and small, but it requires a valid manifest and service worker plus a verified Digital Asset Links file. When your site qualifies, that is the build you get. When it doesn't — which is the case for most Bubble, Webflow and Softr sites, since they don't emit a service worker — SaasToStore falls back to a Capacitor shell that wraps any HTTPS URL in a native WebView. Crucially, both paths output a properly signed .aab, not a raw WebView APK, so both clear Google Play policy 4.3. You never choose or configure this; the analyzer reads your site and routes the build automatically.
Your keystore, and what "a real converter" includes
On the first build we generate a unique 2048-bit RSA keystore, encrypt it, store it, and email you a backup. Every future update is signed with that same key — the requirement Google Play enforces to accept an update as the same app. The keystore is yours, so you are never locked into a subscription to keep publishing.
- Signed .aab — a properly signed Android App Bundle, not a WebView shell
- Capacitor mode — works without a service worker (Bubble, Webflow, any URL)
- AI assets — icon, feature graphic and screenshots auto-generated
- Digital Asset Links — configured automatically for the Play Store
- Keystore backup — encrypted, yours, reusable for all future updates
- Multi-store — one build → Google Play, Amazon, Samsung, Microsoft, GitHub
- Android + iOS + Desktop — from the same URL, one purchase
Frequently asked questions
How does a web to app converter actually work?+
It wraps your live web app in a thin native shell that loads your URL, then compiles and signs a store binary. SaasToStore runs six steps — analyze, select build type, generate assets, build, deliver, publish — and returns a signed .aab (Android) or installer (Desktop) without you touching an IDE.
What is the difference between the TWA and Capacitor build?+
TWA (Trusted Web Activity) is a lightweight Chrome-backed shell that needs a PWA (manifest + service worker). Capacitor is a full WebView shell that wraps any HTTPS URL, no service worker required. SaasToStore auto-selects: TWA when your site qualifies, Capacitor otherwise. Both produce a signed .aab that passes Google Play.
Does SaasToStore work with web apps that don't have a manifest?+
Yes. The Capacitor build wraps any HTTPS URL into a native Android app — manifest, service worker and PWA compliance are optional. If your site has them, the faster TWA build is used automatically.
How does keystore management work?+
We generate a unique 2048-bit RSA keystore for your project on first build, encrypt it, store it, and email you a backup. Every future update reuses the same keystore. This is critical: Google Play rejects updates signed with a different key.
Can the converter produce Android, iOS and Desktop from one URL?+
Yes. The LAUNCH plan converts one URL to Android (signed .aab + .apk), iOS (App Store) and Desktop (Windows .msi + macOS .dmg + Linux .AppImage) — all from a single URL, in one purchase.
