PWA, WinRT, and Visual Studio 2019?

[brodycj]

The referenced content describes how it would be possible to make a PWA work with WinRT, and lists Visual Studio 2017 as a prerequisite.

It is not 100% clear to me whether or not this would be possible with Visual Studio 2019.

I think this kind of functionality would be useful for a number of Windows apps in 2019 and beyond. It is also needed for the Apache Cordova Windows platform support to work without some kind of a rewrite. (They already had to do a rewrite to go from WP8 to UWP.)

This comment is triggered by apache/cordova-windows#327 (comment). I tweeted this question in https://twitter.com/brodybits/status/1123769634514264065 before I realized I could raise this question on GitHub.

May be related to the following issues:

• PWA Tailoring guide VS2019 #252
• WHAT?!? It's a web app for God's sake. #220
• Install PWA to Windows without Windows Store(UWP). #177

I was also wondering if the following pages are relevant for Visual Studio 2019, would be happy to raise separate issues if needed:

• https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/progressive-web-apps/get-started
• https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/packaging/packaging-uwp-apps
