PWA dynamic directory path

[0perationPrivacy]

With the random/custom directory path, the function on mobile to Add to Home Screen does not add the directory as it's statically definded in the manifest file. This gives an error when you open the PWA as it's not taking into account your custom directory.

• Generate the manifest file dynamically based on the directory to put the directory path under start_url attribute.

This issue is almost always because of caching. I faced it as well. Try a different browser, incognito mode and enter the URL with the sub-directory. Without the sub-directory in the path, it will always give a 404 when that variable is configured.

When you set the variable in Heroku, wait 30 seconds, then try the new URI in a clean browser.
Let me know if that worked.
