>As far as I understand from the MWC presentation, Microsoft will also use the manifest for web apps in the Windows 10 store. It would be sad if that had to be limited to packaged apps (local content) and not allow hosted apps. Yes, we are looking to provide JSON manifest support. If anything, based on the current state, it seems like it will be easier to use the manifest for hosted apps than for packaged apps for us. >What is it that you think would prevent Microsoft featuring web apps which use the W3C manifest in their store? Is it that there's no install API so that they'd have to have an "open" button instead of an "install" button? Would be really good to hear from Microsoft on their use cases there. If I'm understanding the question correctly, since our Store is it's own 'app' and not run in the browser, we don't necessarily need an installation API to make it work. --- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/w3c/manifest/issues/340#issuecomment-85556744
