Supporting Android is not on our near-term roadmap



after digging into the following working-groups: TWA, Payment Handler API, 
and the Digital Goods API I believe there is a path for IWA on mobile; yet 
due to security concerns from the community (especially mozilla) it will 
likely need to be wrapped in a TWA. Unfortunately, when using a devx lens 
this would be a step backwards. Developers want to develop on a platform 
freely available to everyone. That platform is the web. When we require 
them to juggle myriad tools (e.g., trusted-web-activity, bubblewrap, 
play-store, CustomTabsIntent) to do something simple (i.e., socket()), they 
will look elsewhere.

I do want to point out the irony of our situation: on *mobile*, the 
platform soon to be used by every human on the planet, will not have IWAs! 
However I do understand and appreciate how we got here and why we don't (or 
won't) have it. Onward with desktop IWAs!
