Manifest: Manifest: one of 'url' or 'id' is required, related application ignored.

I am receiving this error on my web app which is running at https://mbj36.github.io/community-app/?baseApiUrl=https://demo.openmf.org

Manifest: one of 'url' or 'id' is required, related application ignored

What could be the workaround ?

[patrickkettner]

you are using related_applications, without specifying any related applications. That field is to link against related native applications. Since you don't appear to have any, you can just remove that from your manifest.

Hey @patrickkettner I am using lighthouse to test my PWA which is at https://mbj36.github.io/community-app/?baseApiUrl=https://demo.openmf.org#/

One of the audits fails in lighthouse which says Failures: Manifest start_url is not cached by a Service Worker. but i have cached my start_url. what could be the possible solution for this ?

@mbj36
I would really suggest posting these sort of questions on stackoverflow, or the lighthouse github rather than on a standards issue list. This place is intended for issues within the manifest specification, rather than issues with your implementation of it.

That being said, load your pwa, then open the Application tab in chrome's dev tools, and look at the Cache Storage section - your start_url (which does include the query string) is not being cached. You are caching https://mbj36.github.io/community-app/index.html?_sw-precache=2297276cb767f82ac25b5730cab56b10. While that resolves to the same page, that is not the same URL as far as the browser is concerned.
