Well, that is benefit of Osclass PWA, that you do not need to know that.
Web App is create by plugin itself (it is actually created by browser but plugin provides everything needed).
Native App can be created just using pwabuilder.com where you enter your site link and proceed with app generation.

No coding skills needed.

- Web App is something that is generated by system when you "add to home"
- PWA builder is handy application that generates native application files based on Web App (better said manifest and service worker)
- I am not sure what native app files contains, that is beyond something we can impact
- There are surely some ways to identify PWA, add or remove som class, hide/show something etc, maybe this can be good start:

I can confirm PWA is working on xcode simulator and physical device as well. The issue here - apple store will reject PWA apk  :-[

Nice video  :-* :-* :-*
I could also see home page got nicely cached and was loading instantly :)

Sorry to hear about apple store, anyway generating native app is just side effect of PWA.

there are a few tips and tricks for publish the APK on the Apple Store by adding native oauth with apple id (as minimum), with combination of JSON parsing + min functionality (e.g. favorites)

However, while native APK is always preferable, PWA can be useful in some cases to bypass some difficult stages ( let say posting/editing the  listings)

The PWA for Apple is great because it generates not only a single APK, but a whole project which could be hardcoded and extended for described above needs  :)
