Cache Manifest Size Limit and Web Apps

In case people are still wondering about this...

I've currently got an app that is 44MB of resources successfully downloaded and tested offline on Safari(6.1), Chrome(31), Firefox(26), iPad (ios7) and iPhone (ios6).

Only problem I have discovered is when you add the app to the home screen. I've decided this is because the app is too big and needs to expand the cache however there is no handling for this and it just ends with an error. Work around -> reload the app. Close, open, and resave cache = works.
