Hello Kavitha,

 

As far as my knowledge goes you do not need to create an apk for a PWA application sharing the URL should be enough, and depending on the users browser it enables different options for full support it advised to use a chromium browser when using a PWA. There are options to add the PWA app to your homescreen or to create a shortcut on you tablet or mobile device, however it stays a web app so no need for apk building. 

 

Please read also the documentation:

Hope this helps,

 

Good luck!
