Modifying PWA.js code

6

I am using the following to reduce the problems, at least explaining to the user what is going on:

  1. Set a global variable, pwa_update, in my app to allow an update at the start of the app (when the first form is shown) and prevent it when the form is navigated away from.

  2. Modify the appstudioFunctions.js file after compilation to:
    if (pwa_update == 1) {
    location.reload();
    }

  3. Check the version of the currently loaded app against the version stored during the previous run. If the versions do not match, show a message to the user to explain that an update has occurred.
