How to convert Laravel web application into mobile application

Guys i have a doubt, actually i have done a project milkfarm which carries the accounts of milkfarm.

now currently it is running in my client machine, it is not hosted in the server.

My boss is saying to convert the web application into mobile application.

i reffered in net and i got glimpses of PWA (Progressive Web App) which converts web application into mobile application.

whether it is possible to that?

According to my understading, what i thought is Android app is different from mobile app,

Android app we can download it from google play store, to develop andriod apps we need andriod studio, and its a big process,

but mobile is kind of web app only but can be used as app in our mobile phones. the web app is converted to mobile and used in mobile phone.

is my understanding is right??

and it is possible to convert my web app into mobile app easily?? else do i need to learn or work with andriod studio and to write large number of codes?

becoz my laravel milkfarm project is completed.

some one says it is easy to convert through PWA

some one says, it is impossible need to develop the application from the scratch.

Now what should i do?? iam totally confused.

Kindly everyone give me ur suggestions please

How to convert my web app into mobile app??

if a web appication is hosted means the it is possible to this??

The short answer is No. Web application and mobile application is 2 different things in term of development, user experience and delivery or if really want to compare all the aspects, at least for my understanding.

But, the long answer is it depend, if your "mobile" application is just some information application or not so complicated and may be just a push notification then PWA is good enough to achieved it.

perhaps in your case, you may convert your existing application into PWA ready until you find it is necessary to be mobile application then only reconsider it. at least it buy you some times and experience to explore/learn more.
