Hello everyone, I have a page made entirely in Wordpress and very responsive to mobile. I even created a PWA for her. On Android was very good, but I can not do anything on IOS … What I want is to put the page in stores (android and apple) in a simple way in reaction native. But I don’t know anything about RN. Could I put what I already did in WP on React Native? Just like what I did at PWA. Grateful to all.

Not really, no.
If you had a React app, yes, you could port it across (there are still significant differences, but there is generally a fair amount of code that can be shared). For a server-rendered WP app, it’s a significant task to port it to being an actual mobile app; you’d be writing a new app based on your current one
If it’s literally a basically standard WP app built as a PWA, you can probably wrap it using Cordova, it’s been years since I used it though so can’t be more specific. Performance won’t be great, but it should work fine
Edit:
Apps that provide core features and functionality dynamically with web technology like HTML5 are best delivered to everyone in Safari , rather than through the curated App Store.
I would hazard a guess that Apple will purge the store of Cordova/similar apps at some point in the near future. I’m extremely unsure whether Apple care about discoverability of PWAs. That’s the key issue: they aren’t going into the app store anytime soon (ie ever). This is what has prevented me pushing for a PWA app at my work (development would be 1000% easier, but end product is almost useless w/r/t iOS)
@modernvillaco I appreciate you trying to help OP but that doesn’t have anything to do with what they are asking
Hey,
I would love to assist you.
