good day everyone, i have an weird issue where the hosting provider server seems like to rewrite my manifest.json file when it gets to the user’s browser as im implementing PWA for my site. it rewrites it to this weird html code (shown in screenshot below). whats the reason for this and i’d like a solution for it, thank you.
i’ve also uploaded a screenshot for the case, one being the rewritten file and the other the actual file in my htdocs/Auto86/manifest.js
Im also new to this platform so i dont know much, so hopefully somebody knows whats the solution.
Hello, and Welcome to the InfinityFree Forum @simsav !
This has been a known issue with PWAs and Free Hosting, I have written a guide that will help you out and get you a working PWA:
Have you thought about making your site an app?
You probably don’t want to deal with Java/Kotlin or Applescript to make an app for your users, but you want to get that sweet-sweet-beautiful program on your site to work outside of that clumsy browser.
Well, there is a way! If you want to make your site an app, you can make a Progressive Web App!
