the PWA does not have a webmanifest file so PWA is not activated

[Linda MacDonald]

Hey there Wassim
I uploaded my icons to size and checked if I could download my site, but it is missing the app manifest file
see reference here
https://web.dev/add-manifest/#:~:text=The web app manifest is,when the app is launched.

Hi,
We add the manifest, please provide the link to your project to check why it's not there

[Linda MacDonald]

@Wassim do I just invite you via the backend to check?

[Linda MacDonald]

@Wassim the service worker is there but not the manifest.json file seems to be missing.

[Wassim]

Thanks, just open the inspector and go to application > manifest and you can see your issue is with the display property that you set to browser.

@Wassim I went back and fixed the orientation and set the display to standalone but now it's saying that the service worker cannot be detected

@Wassim it's working!! :=) I had a http connection so changed it to https because otherwise it doesn't work and its all good do you know how we might create a download button or something so that it becomes more evident that the site is pwa?

[Wassim]

@Linda-MacDonald by default it automatically appears the first time your user visit it on mobile.
Here is an advanced solution if you want to show a custom add button :

But you might need to add PWA by yourself to do it.
