User Story: mozilla-mobile/reference-browser#300

Chrome automatically generates and installs a special APK of your app. We sometimes refer to this as a WebAPK. Being installed via an APK makes it possible for your app to show up in the app launcher, in Android's app settings and to register a set of intent filters.

It's unclear at this point how we can make use of this.

would it be possible or sensible to duplicate what chrome / android does?

I think there are some limitations that don't allow us to support the feature see mozilla-mobile/fenix#10038 (comment)

Oh, ok. I hope that this will change, because it's unacceptable for Google to keep other browsers from using WebAPKs on Android.
