No Standalone mode on iOS/Android

    I installed the plugin some time ago and it worked fine. But the PWA stopped working probably on iOS/Safari and Andorid/Chrome know and I don’t know why. If I add the PWA to my homescreen the “App” does not open in the standalone mode. The Website open in a new Tab in Safari, no PWA features available.

    The Lighthouse audit passes and it works fine in Chrome on desktop.

    Any suggestions why that happens on iOS/Android?

    For some reason when I attempt to access your Web App Manifest, it is sending back a content-type of text/html, not application/json as expected.

    Something seems amiss with your WordPress site’s REST API. Not sure if that would be cause of the problem here.

    Also, in your manifest I see nothing about standalone. I only see "display": "minimal-ui"

    Hi Weston,

    thank you! I cache the REST API but I excluded the Endpoint now. It now sends a content-type: application/json header I fixed the display: standalone, too but still the same behavior.

    I tried various things today but still haven’t found a solution for my problem.

    I still see "display":"minimal-ui" in the web app manifest.

    If you want to set to be standalone, you can so do by putting this code into a custom plugin or your custom theme’s functions.php:

    add_filter( 'web_app_manifest', function( $manifest ) {
    $manifest['display'] = 'standalone';
    return $manifest;
} );

    Yesterday I tried every combination (fullscreen, standalone, minimal-ui) and no one worked. Today I tried standalone again and it works ?? Thank you!
