@marcacohen I think renaming the manifest.json file to something different (ex. webAppManifest.json or web-app-manifest.json) inside the PSK will remove a step in this recipe and could be considered reasonable, but I it's more of a CDE issue to assume that the manifes.json file is for a ChromeApps ... maybe CDE could/should use a dot file to store a project's properties (ex. the prj type, maybe the git credential, etc...) but I'm going OT.
