1001862 - Support short_name in web app manifests on Android

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Web Apps (PWAs), enhancement, P2)

Description

[Wil Clouser [:clouserw]]

Original discussion on the mailing list [1].

This bug is to add support for an optional 'short_name' field in webapp manifests.  If that field exists and the device thinks it is appropriate to use (you are displaying the name in a space constrained area like an icon grid) you should use the short_name instead of the name.

Per bug 1235869, we're going to disable the Android web runtime, so we won't fix this bug in it.

(This is part of a bulk resolution of bugs in the Firefox for Android::Web Apps component, from which I attempted to exclude bugs that are not specific to the runtime, but it's possible that I included one accidentally.  If so, I'm sorry, and please reopen the bug!)
