Is it possible to use CloudKit Web Service from Android native app? How will that authentication popup window appear in a native app if I want to let user able to modify records?
Can I put a button to the native app, that will open up browser and the redirected content will appear there, and when authentication successfull, specify a callback where token which uniquely identifies users, I guess user record name can be received?

Yes you will require paid developer account for CloudKit.
You use CloudKit to store your app's existing data in the cloud so that the user can access it on multiple devices. You can also store data in a public area where all users can access it.
Rules can be set up in the dashboard: CloudKit has a lot of tabs. Summary: Firebase can be immediately accessed without authentication but also provides the flexibility to define your own rules. CloudKit is probably more secure and can provide a seamless experience for your users too, but only if they are using iOS.
Sync user data between multiple apps from the same developer If you have a suite of apps, they can all share the same CloudKit container so users can have access to their data for all of your apps on every device they have associated with their iCloud account.
CloudKit Web Services is intended "to provide a web interface for users". If you use it to provide a native Android interface, you will probably get your iOS app rejected and lose your CloudKit access entirely.
But if you want to try it, Apple already has documentation for CloudKit Web Services which explains how to authenticate users.
