Been a few days since using electron, but AFAIK electron can't be used as a wrapper for android apps, or can it? Or is their android app a web app wrapped into a "native" android app too?

Also, since this seems to be an issue since 2018, 6 years should be plenty to rewrite using a native secure storage...
