title: Can't get my website to run full screen in mobile browsers (when saved to home screen)
body: <p>I'm pretty new to javascript, and recently created a website as practice. I've been trying to get the website to display as a fullscreen web app in mobile browsers, but nothing seems to be working.  I've been to basically every relevant website and resource that I can find but still nothing. I'm starting to think that it's probably some stupid small error somewhere else that I've overlooked. Any help from more experienced parties will be very much appreciated&lt;3</p>
  
  <p>Website for reference: <a href="http://changeit.netlify.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">is</a></p>
  
  <p>Things I've tried:</p>
  
  <p>1) <code>&lt;meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes"&gt;</code></p>
  
  <p><strong>result:</strong> didn't seem to make any visible difference to the mobile webapp, and same result when i added to home screen and tried opening from there.</p>
  
  <p>2) creating a complete manifest.json file, linking it to my index.html. Chrome dev tools couldn't detect my manifest file, but pwabuilder.com could. </p>
  
  <p>I've also tried changing the / in the source (linking manifest.json in the index.html) and also tried both attempts above together and separately. I read that it could be a cache issue, so I also tried clearing my cache several times, reinstalling chrome, among many other futile attempts. </p>
  
  <p>this is the relevant part of my index.html
  
  
  </p>

  <pre><code>&lt;meta name="viewport" content = "width = device-width, initial-scale = 0.7,  user-scalable = no"&gt;
  &lt;link rel="manifest" href="/manifest.json"&gt;
  &lt;link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css"&gt;
  &lt;meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes"&gt;
  &lt;meta name="mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes"&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>when I try the pwa approach (using a manifest.json) for some reason chrome doesnt detect my manifest file. I've troubleshooted and my code and links are identical to several tutorials and references but it still doesn't detect. I still tried it out on my iphone but it still opens safari from my home screen.</p>
  
  <p>tried the apple meta tag approach as well but that line of code literally doesn't make a visible difference too.</p>
