Automatically Updating the App Icon for Installed PWAs
0
Hello everyone, I have an application built as a Progressive Web App (PWA). Recently, we updated the app icon, but I’m running into a challenge: for users who have already installed the app on their devices, the app icon doesn’t update automatically. Currently, the only way they can see the new icon is by uninstalling and reinstalling the PWA, which isn’t ideal. My Question: Is there a way to force the app icon to update for users who already have the PWA installed, without requiring them to uninstall and reinstall the application? Steps I’ve Tried: Clearing the browser cache doesn’t seem to help. I’ve confirmed that the updated icon is correctly referenced in the manifest.json file. I also tried changing the icon's location and updating the path in the manifest.json file, as I read this might trigger a re-caching of the icon, but it didn’t seem to work. If anyone has encountered this issue or has a solution for automatically refreshing the app icon for installed PWAs, I’d really appreciate your advice! Thanks in advance for your help!
