Requirement for OneSignal Web Push notifications
I’m not sure what you are trying to do or what your problem is, could you clarify were you are getting stuck?

Good evening all,
since August 2025 I’m using an Infinityfree account to host a small Web Site for a non-profit association (blood volunteers). Site is in ITALIANO.
We have a little NEWS section too, where we use to publish information for our volunteers (changes in donation rules, events on territory, etc). Our attention was captured by Onesignal, a company offering Web Push notification messages for free: exactly what we need to claim attention on news. I tried to implement it in a few, test pages on my site and it worked OK! At least for what PC and Android users are concerned; and here comes the bad surprise: if we want to target IOS users too (Iphone, Ipad), then we do need a PWA-compliant site and, first of all, a manifest file. I already read on Forum that such a thing should not be possible on free accounts, and any attempt of using a property like <link rel=”manifest” …..> fails (as it does). But using an external service to have Web Push notifications is much different than having an unknown, untrusted application scraping your server, so I tried out a way to make a manifest file loadable. Using Google, I found this brilliant page:
How to embed a manifest file in your HTML code
This way, there is no need to execute a HTTPS call to GET the manifest file directives! I implemented it first on the Virtual Hosting Apache installation on my PC, and this was the part of the job; then I moved it in a single page of the Infinityfree site, and…. TA DAH! It works! Now I’ve just removed everything dealing with the solution, because I’m not sure this is compliant with Infinityfree policy: we have nothing to sell, simply want use Web Push notifications from an external provider. My question is: if I add this solution to all the Web site pages, this would be a violation of service rules for free accounts??
Greetings from Italy,
The AVIS Cat
I’ve made a PWA work, and I shared how to do a basic PWA here:
It should help with adding a manifest.json file at least.
I don’t think it would be a ToS violation to do what you’re doing, but it’s best to wait for Admin to respond to your post.
