Fixed Chrome PWA may stop working in Chrome 93

[Mike Fara]

Affected version

2.2

Well it will be awhile, but judging how quickly Chrome 89 is out, the developers probably should know about this. F12 -> Application from the PWA and you will get the warning.



At some point, when Chrome 93 hits, the PWA will probably stop working.

Verification of offline support has been part of the PWA installability criteria since the beginning.

The warning started with Chrome 89 FYI.

Chrome 89 is rolling out now! WebHID, WebNFC, and Web Serial have graduated from their origin trials and are now available in stable. We're closing a loophole a few developers used to skirt the PWA installability checks. Web Share, and Web Share Target arrive on the desktop. And there's plenty more!
