Ionic is also working on/released https://capacitor.ionicframework.com/

It is meant to be a new version of Cordova, with support for Cordova plugins. At this time the general consensus is that Cordova is still generally the best, unless you specifically need functionality in Capacitor.

For Flappy Royale (http://flappyroyale.io, https://github.com/flappy-royale/flappy-royale) we built our own native web view wrappers for both iOS and Android, but that's mostly because we already had extensive native iOS/Android dev experience ourselves and wanted more control.

For Android you can make a PWA
