Is site.webmanifest causing Android Chrome to show pop-up to install app?

  • Hi Philippe

    I have noticed periodic pop-ups on my site when using Android Chrome. The site asks if the visitors want to install an app. I would ideally like to disable this behaviour as fear it may put off visitors. I have researched what could be causing this and have landed on the site.webmanifest file. Not totally sure this is the cause, but it looks plausible. I see that RealFaviconGenerator creates a site.webmanifest file and it is in my uploads/fbrfg folder. Do you have any input on this – ie. whether this could be the cause and whether this is expected or unexpected behaviour for this file. I have been through the ‘install’ process following the pop-up on Android when prompted and it appears to simply add an app icon to my Android homescreen. As I said, I would ideally like to disable this installation prompt. Could I simply delete the file from my uploads folder? Many thanks if you can help.
