Some musings on the PWA "add to homescreen" feature on Android devices.

OK, making it a CA worked and it installed correctly on my Pixel6 Android14. Oddly, when using this certificate to secure the player, the "Install Application" command re-appears in chrome on my phone and works correctly, even adding an icon the the app drawer rather than just putting a shortcut on the home screen.  This doesn't happen with the independent CA that I set up to sign the certs on my other players.  However, there now comes the issue that Firefox on all my devices (quite correctly) objects to the fact that we are using a CA certificate as an Identity certificate.  In PKI architecture, that is a circular argument and so insecure.

One step forward, one step back.

I'll keep digging.
