Its provides information about an application (such as name, author, icon, and description) in a JSON text file. The purpose of the manifest is to install web applications to the homescreen of a device, providing users with quicker access and a richer experience. <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Manifest" rel="nofollow ugc">More info</a> about web manifests.

Progressive Web Apps are user experiences that have the reach of the web, and are:
<ul>
<li>Reliable – Load instantly even in uncertain network conditions.</li>
<li>Fast – Respond quickly to user interactions with silky smooth animations and no janky scrolling.</li>
<li>Engaging – Feel like a natural app on the device, with an immersive user experience.</li>
</ul>
This new level of quality allows Progressive Web Apps to earn a place on the user’s home screen. More details about PWAs here: <a href="https://developers.google.com/web/progressive-web-apps/" rel="nofollow ugc">https://developers.google.com/web/progressive-web-apps/</a>
The WordPress Progressive Web Apps plugin helps bloggers, publishers and other content creators to go beyond responsive web design and ‘appify’ their existing mobile presence. Progressive Web Apps is supported on: iOS & Android. Compatible browsers: Safari, Google Chrome, Android – Native Browser. The plugin has been tested on WordPress 4.8 and later, we recommend using the latest WordPress version.
The WordPress Progressive Web Apps plugin includes one FREE mobile PWA (MOSAIC) which is customizable (colors, fonts, appearance) via the WordPress admin area. The tech stack we used in building this Progressive Web App includes:
<ul>
<li>React JS</li>
<li>Semantic UI for UI components</li>
<li>Redux for app state management</li>
<li>SASS</li>
<li>Webpack (Create React App boilerplate)</li>
<li>Babel</li>
<li>Jest & Sinon for unit tests</li>
</ul>
The MOSAIC PWA (available for FREE) is built with React JS. Most of the premium mobile progressive web apps available at <a href="https://pwathemes.com/progressive-web-app-themes.html" rel="nofollow ugc">PWAThemes.com/progressive-web-app-themes.html</a> are built using Angular/Ionic 1 or React. Each PWA comes with a “production” version, which in essence is the bundled/packaged/minified collection of all the necessary JS and CSS files for the PWA to run correctly.
Each of our progressive web apps are tested with Karma, Jasmine and Protractor (Angular) or Jest (React). We have an average of 70-80% code coverage and we’re working on improving this rate. While we do our best to catch any bugs out there, we are aware that some of them might escape us. Please reach out if you happen to come across a nasty one 😊.
The FREE PWA MOSAIC available in the WordPress Progressive Web Apps plugin is the window-display of themes. You can instantly see several categories and choose which ones are of interest and focus on those. Depending on the number of displayed categories, the boxes will resize to fit all available space. It’s great for publishers that have posts spanning several categories and need a way to visually structure their content.
It comes with support for:
<ul>
<li>Multi-image mosaic on cover page</li>
<li>Pages & sub-pages menu</li>
<li>Side-to-side navigation with lateral swiping through categories</li>
<li>Maximum 2 articles per card</li>
</ul>

Hi, congrats for the plugin! :-)
Does the OneSignal integration work for wpms? I`m asking because I see some other plugins have problems about that. Thank you very much! ;-)
