There may be a case where a web app developer does not want their web app to be crawled. I was thinking proposing an additional element to support this, but realized the web already has a way to block crawlers. Below is some draft language, if this seems reasonable, please 👍 and I'll submit a PR. > Like other web resources, a web app manifest should be accessible to any web browser or web crawler. > > If a web app developer wants to block traffic from web crawlers, the developer MAY do so by including the web app manifest in a robots.txt file. This is further described in the [robots.txt](http://www.robotstxt.org/) protocol. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
