The only reason for this issue is because I was running this verification service: https://sonarwhal.com/docs/user-guide/rules/manifest-file-extension/ But I’m sure that the extension is not important. Please leave closed 😃

There’s definitely no requirement as to the URL. Any URL that you pass in as the href for the <link rel="manifest"> is fine.

Using a filename/URL that ends in .json makes the most sense, given that the contents of the HTTP response needs to be valid JSON data.
