manifest.json <link hrefs> turn into [object Object]

See original GitHub issue

(Using 0.4.0)

If I add this: <link rel="manifest" href="./src/manifest.json">

It turns into this in dev: <link rel="manifest" href="[object Object]">

And into this after build: <link rel="manifest" href="[object" object]="">

(Found a few issues talking about serving manifest.json but nothing that specifically mentions this happening.)

I have a related problem when trying to fully implement a favicon for my site. I’m following the recommandations from http://realfavicongenerator.net, which aim at providing a nice site icon for browsers, but also when the web site is pinned on a mobile home screen (for PWA).

Using <link rel="icon" href="./src/path/icon.png">, one can easily define a custom favicon for desktop and iOS.

Android however relies on the manifest file referenced in this issue. This file itself needs to reference a relative path to the Android home screen icon. Ideally, webpack should add this icon in the build folder, and its path should be updated in the manifest file.

Finally, IE/Edge relies on a browserconfig.xml file located at the root of the web site, which references the MS tile site’s icon, in a way similar to the manifest above.

Check the RFG FAQ for details.

This is now supported in 0.5.0.

Read about using the new public folder.
