Supported params

<pwa-install
  manual-apple="true"
  manual-chrome="true"
  disable-chrome="true"

  install-description="Custom call to install text"
  disable-install-description="true"

  manifest-url="/manifest.json"
  name="PWA"
  description="Progressive web application"         
  icon="/icon.png">
</pwa-install>
<!-- 
  manual-apple/chrome params means you want to show the Dialog manually by showDialog().
  disable-chrome param is for completely disabling custom logic and interception for Chominum browsers (will work built-in browser logic).
--->

Make a good manifest file and don't use name/descr/icon params. Boolean attributes needs to be removed to act like "false"
