This question is similar, but the answer did not help.
The goal is to cache a single web page to the home screen, and launch this web page successfully even in offline mode.
Launching the web page from the home screen succeeds when there's a network, but it fails in offline mode because Safari complains there's no connection the server.
The web page contains this meta tag:
<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes" />
Is this possible with web apps on iOS?

We fixed this by supporting a cached version of the app with the manifest attribute as follows:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html manifest="/cache.manifest">
....
</html>
The cache.manifest file:
CACHE MANIFEST
# Version 0.0.2
NETWORK: *
CACHE:
