It sounds like capacitor needs to run the app natively using an index.html. Inertia runs in php

Any ''gotchas" to deloying an Intertia app as a mobile app?
Instead of an SPA, can an VueJS-Inertia app be packaged with say, Capacitor, and deployed as a mobile app in PlayStore/ AppStore (I would imagine yes since its a webview wrapped)? Or are there changes that would be required? I would appreciate a road map, not fun getting stuck midstream.

Thanks. I suppose a PWA is also not directly possible for similar reasons?

@aylara It depends on your needs. Offline mode is not possible, as routing is handled entirely on the backend. Running a service worker, though, is possible.

I made this POC which is still WIP (as well as the Readme), but even in its current stage it should be understandable - https://github.com/GTCrais/capacitor-inertia-vue-laravel

@GTCrais Cool! Did you finish this or some other similarly built project into production?

If you need to create an apk without extra mobile features, you could make a mobile app that only has a webView of your website. I tried to make one and the requests, login and authorizations work perfectly. If you have found better alternatives please let me know!
