You have not uploaded the files to the correct locations.

Did you edit the JSON file?

Home Screen Installation

i install Home Screen, but not have asked from Android device i have path to XF like https://site.com/forum/ do i need change path to manifest.json ? in html now have link to manifest.json to https://site.com, not to https://site.com/forum/ sorry for my bad English

xenforo.com

Don't skip any steps!

manifest.json should be saved in web root, NOT xenforo root.

I got it work today. So easy.

The only problem I got is that I cannot get the icons work.

The home screen app icon and the splash screen is still

I already have my png files ready.

  "icons": [
    {
      "src": "/images/logo-square.png",
      "sizes": "48x48",
      "type": "image/png"
    },
    {
      "src": "/images/logo-square-big.png",
      "sizes": "96x96",
      "type": "image/png"
    },
    {
      "src": "/images/logo-square-small.png",
      "sizes": "192x192",
      "type": "image/png"
    }

Problem solved: OK, it's actually the android Chrome's caching problem. I cleared everything for Chrome and now I got the icons.

How better is the official pwa feature than this add-on?

Does XF add this automatically? I'm using XF 2.1 and don't see this popup on my forum. How can I enable it? Thanks.

As per the thread prefix, you need to be running 2.2.

Xenforo 2.x has support available in settings you don't need to use external addons.

https://whatwebcando.today/installation.html You can see support at this link. The difference is the site won't have a search bar on top like chrome browser and the deeplink will open in PWA
