Mini app developers

What’s something that’s confusing or unclear in the docs?

metadata.
last time checked a bunch of metadata fields were added.

manifesto
once you know how to get it its simple. a nightmare for newbies.

What’s specifically a nightmare about the manifest?

Confirming I didn't know this until reading this thread just now and was going to just live with the invalid manifest.

To add to this it’s not/wasnt clear that it has to be done via mobile. I lost a few hours trying through desktop just getting invalid manifest error back but no prompt about why (it was missing the author fields generated via mobile)

you have to turn on developer mode on mobile otherwise dev tools are not available on destkop.

you have to generate manifest on mobile, copy/paste to a email/tg/whatsapp in order to use it on visual/cursor.
