Updatable Web Manifest Fields Updates on Chrome for Android #.After closing the PWA, it should be updated with the new manifest properties. To manually force Chrome to check for an updated manifest, you can either launch Chrome with the command line flag -disable-manifest-update-throttle or restart Chrome (use about://restart), this resets the timer so that Chrome will check for an updated manifest when the PWA is next launched. The chrome://web-app-internals page (available in Chrome 85 or later), includes detailed information about all of the PWAs installed on the device, and can help you understand when the manifest was last updated, how often it's updated, and more. There are two display settings for a web app, the one from the manifest (that you control) and a window/browser tab setting controlled by the user. If you update your app's display mode from browser to standalone your existing users will not have their apps open in a window after updating. More info What happens when the display field is updated? # Changes to the start_url require the manifest id to be set.
