2024.10.22-beta - Missing manifest.json

[Nerwyn]

Describe the bug
The repo is missing a manifest.json as required by HACS, making it so that it cannot be installed. This also prevents the repository from being added as a custom repository for v1.0.0.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Follow the README instructions to uninstall v1.0.0 and restart Home Assistant.
2. Try installing the 2024.10.22-beta. Note the unknown error.

At this point material symbols disappeared from my custom repositories list, and when I tried adding it back I got this error:

No manifest.json file found 'manifest.json'
{
    "action": "add_repository",
    "exception": "HacsException",
    "message": "No manifest.json file found 'manifest.json'"
}

Expected behavior
Repository structure should follow the HACS integration documentation.

Additional context
I got excited to try the new version, but now I can't even install v1.0.0 as HACS won't let me add the repository as an integration or dashboard add on as 2024.10.22-beta is not compliant.

Hi @Nerwyn,

This is unusual as the file is in the location expected (unless I have missed something). Let me look into this and attempt a fix asap.

@Nerwyn I have removed release 2024.10.22-beta so that v1.0.0 should be usable now as a "Dashboard" repository again.

Thanks! I'm able to reinstall it now.

That's weird, maybe it was a HACS bug on my end. What if you try recreating the beta but not setting it as the latest release?

@Nerwyn I took your advice and did just that. The integration update is now a pre-release.

I have reached out to the HACS discord community as I am stumped on why this isn't working. There are suggestions that the manifest.json encoding (not UTF-8) might be a cause, but I have checked and it doesn't appear to be the case.

Would you check if manually installing works and this is solely a HACS issue?

This has now appears to been resolved in 2024.10.23-beta

It's working for me now! Thanks!
