As an app developer, the current icon sizing requirements are a bit involved. https://developer.mozilla.org/Apps/Build/Manifest#icons lists quite a few recommended icon sizes. In addition, as the different platforms evolve, some sizes will be added and removed.
Including multiple icons in an app package is not only confusing; it also takes up space. For instance, in one of the apps I develop, we support 5 icon sizes. They take up 44 kb of disk space when compressed. This may be negligible, but it does add up when multiple apps are installed.
I propose that we add support for SVG icons to web app manifests. This solves both problems: SVGs scale to any size, and they are usually very tiny.
This would be great, especially on Firefox OS.
