Generating manifest.json from manifest.js #1067

I'm struggling to properly generate manifest.json using the metadata file.
Following these instructions hasn't been successful for me: https://next-intl-docs.vercel.app/docs/environments/metadata-route-handlers#metadata-files.

When I place manifest.js inside the [locale] folder, manifest.json isn't generated. Besides, the { params: { locale } } seems inaccessible in the manifest function.

However, when I move the file outside of [locale], manifest.json is generated but I lose access to translations.

Has anyone experienced this? Should I open an issue, or am I missing something?

A solution that I'm avoiding

I can fix this by not using the manifest metadata file and having many static manifest.json.
But I have some rules in the image path to manage and a js file to generate the .json would be perfect.

// app/[locale]/layout.js

export async function generateMetadata({ params: { locale } }) {
  return {
    manifest: `/manifest-${locale}.json`,
  }
}
