After i create a APK to PWA i see toolbar of browser

I have a problem with my first PWA.
I have created one with reactjs and configured good manifest.
I follow step by step google guide.
PWA, works perfectly, and i see "add to home button".
After QA i wanted to publish it in store.
I used https://appmaker.xyz/pwa-to-apk.
Now i have app publish in the store but when i open it, i see a browser toolbar and i can't use it as a native app.
Someone can help me?
How about using TWA (Trusted Web Activity)?
Using Trusted Web Activities
This can be achieved by proving that the app and the web trust each other.
If you can prove it, you can prevent the browser toolbar from being displayed.
I'm sorry if you don't get the answer you want.

Change windows phone 8.1 app version while publishing

I had created an app using AppStudion and later modified it. After completion I had published it on windows phone store, but it display the app version as 2014.1012.1035.4168. I want to change it to something like 1.1.0.3, but it won't let me do it.
The input fields are disabled for changing app version are disabled.
I have changed the version to 1.1.0.3 in package.appmanifest also
What am I doing wrong?
The strange version stands for appx bundle and you cannot edit it - it's created by the Store.
The app after submission should show up with correct version depending on the device.
Here is also reference to Rob Caplan's answer.
For sure the correct version will be after you install the app - get your App ID from Package.ID it will be 1.1.0.3.

How to open photo from Photo hub with 3rd party apps using edit link in Silverlight 8.1 app

How to open picture from 3rd party app in WP 8.1 Silverlight app?
I upgrade project to Silverlight 8.1 but I don't get my app in a list with edit options.
Anyone?
In order to register for Edit picker, your app needs to declare the following extension in WMAppManifest
<Extension ExtensionName="Photos_Extra_Image_Editor"
ConsumerID="{5B04B775-356B-4AA0-AAF8-6491FFEA5632}"
TaskID="_default" />
More info can be found on MSDN.
I had a similar but not exactly the same problem. I made an app for wp8 silverlight. The app appeared in the edit list for photos or images.
When I upgraded the project to wp81 my app appeared in the edit list but it wasn't called. It just happend nothing.
I found this comment on social.msdn.microoft.com:
"After updating to the new developer preview (8.10.14147.180) this problem is gone on my phone. It is of course still there in my emulator since it isn't updated (8.10.12358.1191). So the question now is when I can release the WP8.1 specific version of my app, since this functionality is a rather central part of it..."
and I can confirm this.
On my emulator it does not work (OS Version 8.10.12358.1191) but on my device (OS Version 8.10.14147.180) it works.
