I create a TWA using Bubblewrap and the app works fine. Now I need to send a WebMessage and this can be done with CustomTabs, according to the documentation, but I don't know how to get the active CustomTabsSession object from any of these classes to work with it

The CustomTabsSession is created/managed inside the TwaLauncher, from android-browser-helper, but isn't exposed - it should be possible to change TwaLauncher to expose that. Unfortunately, that wouldn't work because the CustomTabs PostMessage API doesn't work in within a Trusted Web Activity.
