RussianThe manifest is tricky but like a bike - one you get the hang of it then it becomes second-nature.
Here are the links I used to understand the manifest: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Apps/Developing/Manifest https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Apps/Developing/About_app_manifests?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Web%2FApps%2FFAQs%2FAbout_app_manifests
The main point that helped me was to understand that only two fields are required: name, and description. This make other options specific to your needs, so I stripped all other members out to start: "locales" and "developer".
The primary config that I needed to get right was: launch_path - I got it to work through trial-and-error, but then moved the app within my architecture and was surprised when the app went 404! I shouldn't have been surprised because... the path was incorrect. After updating the path the app installed correctly.
For example: /Apps/App1/app1.html
Final bit of advice on Manifest. The best way to understand it is to get a test app working from the mdn-app-template! This way you can see how it works and test it's capabilities. I strongly recommend this as a first step. https://github.com/chrisdavidmills/mdn-app-template
Other suggestions: - It took a while to get the workflow down. It is possible to just click a 'refresh' link in the App Manager. Which is a rather immediate workflow. - Uninstalling in Android was weird. The app is actually saved within Firefox. So you have to go to about:apps to uninstall. Here is the link: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Apps/Developing/Apps_for_Android
Hope it helps.
