The problem is you can't trigger the app installation procedure with JavaScript or any other sort of click, so you would be limited to just telling them that it exists, similar to how the option to install shows in the off canvas ("hamburger") menu. The option to install it only shows at the bottom there if they are on mobile and not in PWA app.
No, it doesn't do anything there. From the looks of it, it looks to me like that's a bug in the phone operating system possibly (orientation lock at the operating system shouldn't let an app rotate since that's the whole point). I tested it on my phone and using orientation lock locks the PWA as expected (it's an iPhone though, not Android). I did a little digging, and others (unrelated to XenForo) have said it's a known issue with Chrome on Android (Firefox PWA seems to work on Android). Either way, to answer your question, no... this addon does not try to address that any specific Chrome on Android issues.
Probably none of those things directly, but I could see some options that let people free-form add-to/edit the manifest file however they see fit. But honestly, I don't see any of those things being individually built within the addon (because honestly, I don't have a use for any of it myself). So anything would be something generic where people can knock themselves out and do whatever they want.
Probably not to be honest, I don't even have a site with more than one style (I'm a believer in consistency), so I wouldn't even have something to test it on anyway. Seems weird if you visit a site with the browser on your phone and have that look different than visiting the site with PWA.
the reason I am asking for this feature is because of app store restriction from Apple and I needed to turned off some features for apple devices
This is already done for the next version. It's not super fancy, but since it doesn't try to build a UI to handle all the possible things, it's very flexible. It lets you simply specify JSON you want to merge into the manifest file (allows you to overwrite anything there or add whatever you want). For example if you wanted to change theProbably out-of-scope for this add-on, but as other suggestions in this thread I would also love to see more control over the manifest file.
For example, I use PWABuilder to convert PWA to an app for the different app stores. This could possibly give more exposure to your site.
However, the manifest needs some tweaks to fully comply:
orientation member (a string) and add a categories member (an array), you can plop this into it:
Probably won't go so far as to handle the uploading process, but something that allows you to specify the video, yeah. Was already planning on that, but was wiating until the next version of XenForo first since they are changing how they do it (doing it as a video instead of an animated GIF). Don't want to spend the time when I know that how it's done is being changed in the next version of XenForo.
There's actually nothing preventing you from doing it with the same mechanism that the side menu shows it on. It's always there (but hidden) and shows it if the user is on a mobile device and not already in an installed app... but underneath it all, the link and instructions are there on every page view.
I have no idea how to do this...
Would you like to make me a tutorial

The video is intended to only be showing to iOS users. That should be the same behavior as the install option in the side menu. It should also shouldn’t show if you aren’t in the app (also same as the default behavior). If you are in a browser, but an app is already installed on the phone, it will still show because there isn’t a way to know the app is installed unless you are in the app.
