>My app meets all the criteria, but I don’t want the banner to display. Can I control this? Not right now. We are working on ways to give developers the ability to cancel the display of the prompt. Sorry, what?

We are not letting developers to control when the prompt shows, other than to stop it from showing.

  From the wording is sounds like developers can't stop it from showing. (Except by not using using the APIs that would trigger it.)

    FYI there is a public proposal on GitHub for an API which would allow developers to control the banner more, particularly it's timing or suppressing it. Hopefully this will happen soon. https://github.com/slightlyoff/AppInstallImprovements/blob/master/explainer.md#controlling-installation https://github.com/slightlyoff/AppInstallImprovements/blob/m...

In other words, the prompt to "install" the shortcut will always appear for sites meeting all the criteria. I guess one can always remove the manifest file to stop the prompt from showing in the interim.

  Bad wording on my part - I know what it meant, I just thought it was baffling that they don't let websites opt-out of this new feature at all.

    That will be coming. It is mentioned in the article.
