Service Worker Support? about cordova-plugin-inappbrowser

[cvanem]

@janpio FYI, this looks to be supported with the newer WKWebView. Using this plugin resolved my issue and drastically improved user input performance with my React based web app.

I should also add that this is for a hybrid app, which loads external web content into the inappbrowser. I would like to avoid storing any hard assets in the application package. The preferred functionality would download and install the service worker on the first successful web request. After that the service worker would handle caching. Any guidance on where to start? Am I correct that this functionality is not currently available?

I believe the issue may be related to the initial open for the inappbrowser. Is there a way to tell this to load from the previously cached content instead of a network url?

Service workers are not supported on iOS, not sure about Android.

Anyway, this is not a bug in the plugin, in any case it's a bug in the webviews, so you should report it to Apple/Google.

Service worker support was added in iOS 11.3.

... to Safari. Was it also added to the webview(s) other apps can use?

Ok thanks for clearing that up for me. I was confused.
