Manifest: Line: 1, column: 1, Syntax error on Chrome browser
I have a react app that built through npm run build. GET and POST request from the front-end to back-end gives status 200 but I am getting a weird error that may cause all the images from my files not appear on localhost.
I have already tried to reinstall node, added 'manifest_version': 2 as it is the current version of chrome manifest.

It appeared that the error starts from the beginning of my index.html file.
Answer
I had the same problem when I moved my Codesandbox project to local. In my case, there was no manifest.json file in the public folder.
I solved it by adding the default manifest.json that create-react-app generates:
{
"short_name": "CloseWeUI",
"name": "The front-end UI for CloseWe",
"icons": [
{
"src": "favicon.ico",
"sizes": "64x64 32x32 24x24 16x16",
"type": "image/x-icon"
}
],
"start_url": ".",
"display": "standalone",
"theme_color": "#000000",
"background_color": "#ffffff"
}
