XF 2.2 Can't install PWA on Chrome (desktop)

[Mr Lucky]

What am I missing?

• I have the short title
• I have the two icons, 192 and 512
• I have SSL/https.

With xenforo I see a + icon on Chrome to install an app, but not on my dev forum.

Could it be because it is IP protected?

It can take a while for the browser to display the option - it reads the manifest file periodically, but not more than once every 24 hours.

It took an hour or so to show up on my localhost.

Press F12, go to tab Application, on the left pane click on Clear storage afterwards click button Clear site data.

Click on Manifest - does it now show the up to date data?

F12 just turns up the audio!

Well ... then press whatever brings up Chrome developer tools on your OS, on Windows/Linux it's F12.
Try Command-Option-C (Mac) or Control-Shift-C (all others).

Try Command-Option-C (Mac) or Control-Shift-C (all others).

Thanks!

Did you clear site data?
What's the output when you open the manifest URL in a tab?

Sorry, I don't know what that means.

you taught me in the morning )
ok, I can see in the picture that you have it.

I still don't know what is meant by "What's the output when you open the manifest URL in a tab? "

when I hit mine /webmanifest.php output is

{
    "name": "Oregon Fishing Forum",
    "short_name": "OFF",
    "description": "Forum about fishing in Oregon. The forum includes information on trout fishing, salmon fishing, steelhead fishing, and bass fishing in Oregon.",
    "icons": [
        {
            "src": "\/off.png",
            "sizes": "192x192"
        },
        {
            "src": "\/off512.png",
            "sizes": "512x512"
        }
    ],
    "lang": "en-US",
    "dir": "LTR",
    "display": "standalone",
    "scope": "\/",
    "start_url": "\/?_pwa=1",
    "background_color": "#ececec",
    "theme_color": "#185886"
}

but your link is not even php file.

I don't know how /where to do that.

well, may be Brogan is right, you need just wait 24 hours
