I am using [https://www.pwabuilder.com/](https://www.pwabuilder.com/) for my forum [https://forum.enkindle.guide/](https://forum.enkindle.guide/).

While generating Android package, pwabuilder failed with error - " Error generating app package: 6:7: unexpected close tag.". Raised [Error generating android package · Issue #2534 · pwa-builder/PWABuilder · GitHub](https://github.com/pwa-builder/PWABuilder/issues/2534) for same.

Advise given in above issue is - “we believe the issue to be that the svg files linked in the shortcuts section of your manifest, SVGs are not a supported type for the icons of shortcuts [Get things done quickly with app shortcuts &nbsp;|&nbsp; Articles &nbsp;|&nbsp; web.dev](https://web.dev/app-shortcuts/#icons-(optional)) (for more info).”

any suggestions?

I was hopeful that Microsoft would put some work into [https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1091612&q=component%3AUI\>Browser\>WebAppInstalls%20svg%20shortcut&can=2](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1091612&q=component%3AUI%3EBrowser%3EWebAppInstalls%20svg%20shortcut&can=2) but looks like it’s not happening any time soon 😢

My plan was to allow it to be customizable, but I will move it to a static list next week.
