 * Hi,
 * Your module create a file on root named manifest.json.
 * This generates 2 major problems:
    1) manifest.jwon is already used for other 
   applications such as PWAs, this file is used by PWA to list all the files needed
   by the PWA to work. 2) the manifest.json file created by your module and publicly
   accessible lists sensitive information that could compromise the security of 
   the wordpress site

 * Hello [@darkstudio](https://wordpress.org/support/users/darkstudio/)
    Thank you
   for the suggestion, I already forwarded your request to our developers, and will
   back to you when I have something new. For now you can just remove the manifest.
   json file as a workaround solution.
