Updated handler of service worker keeps being triggered on android after refresh












0















I'm using register-service-worker to handle detecting when there's an update to the PWA. The source of the service worker is minimal.



My handling code is like that:



if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production') {
register(`${process.env.BASE_URL}service-worker.js`, {
ready() {
console.log(
'App is being served from cache by a service worker',
);
},
cached() {
console.log('Content has been cached for offline use.');
},
updated() {
console.log('New content is available; please refresh.');
store.commit("updateAvailable");
},
offline() {
console.log('No internet connection found. App is running in offline mode.');
},
error(error) {
console.error('Error during service worker registration:', error);
},
});
}


store.commit("updateAvailable"); shows a modal telling the user to refresh, where one click on the refresh button triggers location.reload(true). I also tried location.reload().



On desktop, there's no issues. On android, in the chrome browser, the update notification keeps popping up, even if I refresh / keep refreshing. I need to change the url location to another website and then go back to the app for the update to go through and the notification to stop popping up.



I added the update mechanism in a minimal webapp (in the refresh-test branch) I own to reproduce the problem. The problem can be reproduced in my android chrome by:




  • Deploying the app

  • Going on the app on android chrome

  • Making a minimal change on the app and rebuilding it

  • On android chrome, refresh the page


The "App is updated, refresh" alert will show and keep being shown every refresh. The problem does not happen on desktop, one refresh is enough to update the app.



Is there any reason the service worker behaves differently on mobile/android? Is there anything I can try to fix the problem? I already tried calling skipWaiting() in the service worker before refreshing the page.



I'm using chrome 69.0.3497.100 / Android 7.0.0 if that makes any difference.
