I plan to develop an app (not sure if I will go with PWA yet) which includes the following "wishlist" scenario:
The user is browsing a website he likes using safari, chrome or any browser
He clicks the share button in that browser, in order to send the webpage url to another app
He selects my PWA
This url is saved in the user's wishlist
Is step 3 possible?
Note: someone asked the exact same question here about Android: Can a progressive web app be registered as a share option in Android?
My question is just the same, except mine is about iOS. I couldn't find any answers to it.

As mentioned above, Apple only allows Safari to create PWAs in iOS and iPadOS—third-party browsers are left out of the party. Safari doesn't use the terms install and app, like all other browsers that support PWAs do.
To generate an iOS app, you just need a PWA. Or more specifically, a web app with a manifest. To build the project, you'll need a Mac with Xcode installed. To publish your PWA to the iOS App Store, you'll need an Apple Developer account.
Yes. Now, you can do it on Chrome for Android from version 71+.
What you're describing is covered by Web Share Target Level 2.
Currently, it can be used with Chrome on some desktop platforms and on Android for installed PWAs.
It's not available on iOS, unfortunately.
