Hi,
How can I edit manifest.webmanifest file located at yourdomain.com/manifest.webmanifest ??

i want to remove that app(pwa) shortcuts when you long press on app(pwa) icon.

That is not possible at the moment, unless you overwrite this method in a custom plugin.

The plan is to make this configurable by site admins, but I’m waiting for this bug to be fixed by the chromium team before working on that: 1091612 - chromium - An open-source project to help move the web forward. - Monorail.

Just saw this at the link:

dm...@google.com dm...@google.com #10 Feb 13, 2024 10:58PM
Marked as fixed, reassigned to di...@chromium.org.

This was fixed recently.

Does this mean the web manifest will be editable soon by admins?

I’m trying to use the apple app site association feature to make links to my Discourse open in the PWA on iOS and Gemini says I should edit the web manifest to not have the full URL but a relative one.

I’m not sure if that would work, but I think it’d still be nice to be able to edit the web manifest.

Thanks!

Idem. I Wish I could change "display": "standalone" to fullscreen but I can’t yet.
