If you're seeing this error message, you need to ensure that the server hosting your manifest has the correct CORS settings. It cannot use a wildcard (*) in the Access-Control-Allow-Origin CORS header - it must include the domain that is making the request. So if https://universalviewer.io is accessing https://myiiifmanifests.com, https://myiiifmanifests.com must include https://universalviewer.io in its Access-Control-Allow-Origin CORS response header.
