iOS: when adding the "To-do List" page to home screen, link is changed to "Explore Projects"

Issue:

I want to be able to add to my iPhone home screen a link to my GitLab To-do List, but the PWA manifest hardcodes the starting URL to the Explore Projects page. This adds manual work every time I want to quickly view my latest To-Dos.

How to reproduce:

• Open Safari
• Navigate to gitlab.com
• Authenticate
• Navigate to gitlab.com/dashboard/todos
• Tap the "Share" button
• Tap "Add to Home Screen"
• In the next screen, the URL shown is https://gitlab.com/explore/projects - and cannot be edited:

• After adding the link to home screen and tapping the icon, the Explore Projects page is opened in Safari.
• 2 taps are then required to navigate to the correct page - open the navigation then tap on the to-do list icon - and wait for the page to refresh.

Investigation

• This URL is controlled by the "start_url" parameter in the Web Application (PWA) Manifest (manifest.json)
• Rendered file: https://gitlab.com/-/manifest.json
  • "start_url": "/explore/projects"
• Source file: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/app/views/pwa/manifest.json.erb#L6
  • "start_url": "<%= explore_projects_path %>",
• PWA manifest was introduced in this commit: 99d1d365.
