Could you build this?
Partial A web-to-app wrapper with an npm CLI is achievable with vibe coding, but producing Android builds without the standard toolchain and supporting iOS (which needs macOS, Xcode and signing) requires real mobile build-system expertise.
What it would actually take: Start from a WebView shell (Capacitor-style) and build a CLI that generates the Android project and compiles APKs/AABs without Gradle, possibly by driving aapt2/apksigner directly. iOS needs an Xcode toolchain on macOS, code signing and provisioning. The hard parts are reliable native-build plumbing and keeping up with Android and iOS SDK changes.
