Option to Wrap App from Local Folder Instead of URL

See original GitHub issue

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I think some people like me would enjoy the feature of being able to wrap your PWA from the source for testing purposes before putting it live on the web.

Describe the solution you’d like

As a end-user of this, I would appreciate the ability to be able to wrap an app from a local folder instead of URL for beta testing and the such, so that I know that my project works before putting it online. It would also be pretty useful too, and will allow the app the work offline instead of always having to be online.

Describe alternatives you’ve considered

I have tried using file:/// URI scheme/method to locate my manifest locally, but unfortunately your application says it lacks the support for it.

It is a modification to the codebase, it just requires a little more thought than just changing the method call that fetches the manifest from the internet.

It’s definitely do-able - just gated by when Andre or I have time to do it.

@andreban Yes that is the request I’m trying to do something like an experimental PWA that I don’t really want to upload to the web, I just want to wrap it up into an APK executable and that’s basically it. I don’t really need any fancy features, I just need it wrapped up, but your tool doesn’t support wrapping local files, and I haven’t found any other tool even close to what this tool can do, so I’m basically stuck at this point.
