• I have been testing Super PWA along side developing a theme and changes I have made to the theme only appear when I do a hard refresh. On my mobile device I can not find a way to do a hard refresh and this appears it will be problematic for users if an updated is needed to be made to the front end.

    How can I force mobile devices to see and use the updated version of the site?

    We suggest in the development phase you can De-activate the plugin because PWA is caching the content for offline features.

    I realized I needed to work with the plugin disabled I merely discovered there was no indication of an update nor how to update. This lead me to see what complications users may have on an app that is published and then receives updates.

    With that said:

    But if you don’t do that then you need to clear the cache every time. In this case every time you need to make a hard refresh.

    Are you purposefully not answering the question I am asking?

    When SPWA is active an I make an update and my users have installed my site as a PWA. How do they get the update? There is no Hard Refresh on mobile.

    When I am on PC and Hard Refresh and then just refresh I see 2 different versions. Some sort of notification to update would be the key. How do I have users know there is an update and update the cache once the PWA is installed?

    No worries you have no need to respond nor answer my Original Question. I have switched to a different plugin (https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/pwa-for-wp/) that at first try and seamless effort seems to be doing what I was asking for with little to no effort on my part. All the while the plugin is active and the PWA is installed. Thanks for the half attempt at keeping me a user of you plugin and potential customer.

    Sorry for the inconvenience. For mobile, you need to clear cookies and data “By clearing history” you can make a hard refresh. there is no programmatic way currently.
