Does not provide a valid apple-touch-icon
See original GitHub issueThe Apple documentation says:
“To specify an icon for the entire website (every page on the website), place an icon file in PNG format in the root document folder called apple-touch-icon.png” https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/AppleApplications/Reference/SafariWebContent/ConfiguringWebApplications/ConfiguringWebApplications.html
Why do I then also have to add <link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="/apple-touch-icon.png">
to my home screen?
I like that Apple follows the “convention-over-configuration” rule here. Also, I’m always looking for ways to specify less in my HTML, JSON, and JS files for speed.
Thank you very much for Lighthouse! I love tools that let me pass tests to ensure compatibility! Lighthouse, mail-tester, ssl-labs. These are all great tools!

Thanks for sharing the news! Let’s go ahead and delete this audit for 10.0, we don’t need to waste people’s times with this since the compatibility problem will disappear soon.
For correctness, I think we do have to end up making the request. People who do it this way are saving some HTML bytes and that’s nice.
We’ll use the fetcher for this.
