web manifest

A web manifest is a JSON file that provides information about a web application, such as its name, icon, and theme color. It helps browsers understand how to display and launch the app when added to a user’s home screen.

How does a Progressive Web App handle user permissions?

Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) handle user permissions through a combination of several principles and technologies. PWAs ask for permissions as needed, similar to native mobile apps, but without the hassle of app store approvals. They use a web manifest file to declare the application’s name, icons, and required permissions. PWAs also utilize the Permissions API and Service Workers to manage and request access to device features and resources, such as camera, microphone, and location.

Overall, PWAs balance user privacy and convenience by providing a seamless permission handling experience.
