Eyes Up's purpose is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." But it has been swept up in Apple's attack on ICE-spotting apps.

Here's the app's page on Google Play.

Features: • Anonymous Recording – No account, no personal details required. • Secure Uploads – Encrypted transfer to privacy-focused storage. • Map-Based Sharing – Videos appear where they happened, for public awareness. • Offline Support – Record even without internet; upload when connected. • Metadata Control – Strips identifying data before publishing.

Seems like more than just a website wrapper.

Surely all of those things can be done in a browser. You can grant location and camera permissions to a website easy enough. And encrypted transfer can be done any number of ways. Offline recording is possible with localstorage. All of this seems very achievable and effectively uncensorable by Apple.

The only thing it can’t get is App Store search rank.

iirc mobile safari doesn't do pwas and doesn't have a lot of the web apis

It does. I'm posting this comment on the Mbin pwa on my iPhone, works pretty well.
