Power Pages | PWA Builder Shows "No Manifest" | Should link to Web Files

Posted on by Kayleb

No matter how I try to link the manifest when I navigate to the PWA builder to turn my website into a PWA and generate installation files I get this error

This is an issue as I have done this before but never with Power Pages. I cannot get any manifest file to be recognized by the browser for my site and this is becoming quite irritating as it should link to the web-files folder.

I attempted to link in these ways through my Home html file

And also tried creating a new manifest file in my home folder to reference several times, and it would not allow me to save the file to be used as a manifest. As shown here

I have tried renaming the file as well which isn't allowed for web-files that are pre configured so I am at a loss now. I am actually starting to believe this is an issue with either Power Pages or MS Edge as Edge doesn't show the resource "PAWManifest.json" or the "web-files" folder that should be linked to every page.

Here is where the default manifest that "should be recognized" is located in the visual studio project folder

Solution:

You need to create a new folder in your Power Pages workspace for the website and add the manifest and service worker files to that folder and then properly reference everything then it will recognize the resources. After several different attempts at things this ultimately resolved the issue.

Hi

I know this may be an old question, but I encountered same issue and solved it by creating a content snippet with link to the manifest file in it.

1. Go to Power Pages Management

2. Create Content Snippet. (I would say the only dynamic values here are the website, display name, and HTML content itself; the rest of them are suggested to be in the same value as the following so that power pages can detect and generate the snippet for head tag of your site).

Hope this is useful for anyone who still has the same issue.

Regards,
Jonas
