Voyager might become a native App in the future! (sort of) (lemm.ee)

It is a limitation of a PWA. A native app (wrapper) will likely be coming though, and a custom Capacitor plugin could theoretically interface with the native API to switch out icons. Theoretically. No promises though :)

Voyager is perfect as is. Lightning fast to get updates, don't need to be at the mercy of Apple or Google to get into the official stores. And less work for the developers to publish a new version.

As users you don't perceive a difference. A native app in theory could cause your system to be vulnerable if a bug exists.

Because of the above reasons I'd really like Voyager to remain a PWA.

Capacitor apps can be both.
