Sorry Dumb question but what’s a PWA vs TestFlight?
PWA- progressive web app
An app that is actually just a webpage that behaves like an app and runs through safari. A TestFlight app is a full regular iOS app but in beta so you install it from the TestFlight app like a different App Store.
Think when a new call of duty or other video game releases early in beta access. Same idea with TestFlight. Memmy is in TestFlight (I’m using it rn) but is being submitted for normal App Store release now.

This posted twice
PWA = Web application. It’s not “installed” on your device like an App Store app
TestFlight = Apps are installed in your device like any other app from the App Store
