I want to create a manifest to launch a "Add t homescreen" banner. However, it seems that chrome does't recognize my manifest file to launch the banner.

Here in the application tab in chrome debugger, the fields should be filled with the information from manifest.json

enter image description here The manifest file is declared correctly, because it points to the right file. Here is the manifest.json: enter image description here

It seems that the Web App Manifest is not being parsed correctly. You can validate it using the Web Manifest Validator.

Did you check this similar question: Web App Manifest not parsed by Chrome Dev Tools

  • It seems that my link is not HTTP 200 ok, My link is like this: https://xx.org:1234/Folder/Folder, why is it not accepted? – Georgiana M May 11 '17 at 11:45
  • I did not understand the exact setup, but the web app manifest is usually in the root so you would need to reference it as `` – Kevin Farrugia May 12 '17 at 05:57
  • @KevinFarrugia does it always have to be in the root of domain?I have the web app in folder but when i run server from parent folder, the manifest of this web app in subfolder is not detected. – Nigel Mar 30 '18 at 08:19
