    Thanks once again. It's working now. Although I had to use a different sw.js file
    1. Deo Kumar
      Deo Kumar
      I think Favicon at /main/favicon.ico is inaccessible that's why errors are occurring while running sw.js.
      Make sure you are able to open the following URL:
      www.your-domain.com/main/favicon.ico
      Or else change the favicon.ico source in sw.js

      Right! It's working fine with your sw.js now 😊

      Service Worker JS at url root is required for PWA.

      Which file you are trying to open? If you are trying to open android-icon-512x512.png, make sure you have uploaded it.

    Please I want to change the favicons, but no matter what I do it goes back to the old one
    1. Deo Kumar
      Deo Kumar
      Thank you for reporting us.
      It is because Statically cache the assets on their server.
      I will update the post if possible.
      Stay tuned.

    2. Deo Kumar
      Deo Kumar
      No, you can't host service worker javascripts on .blogspot domain.

    i have already replace code "Hello Word!" to worker.js script... trying deploy get error like this:

    Uncaught ReferenceError: mmmm is not defined at worker.js:26:3 (Code: 10021)
    1. Deo Kumar
      Deo Kumar
      Looks like you added some extra text while editing check line no. 26 of your code.

    Everything works for me, the only problem is that I don't know why the screenshots (screen-1) are only displayed on mobile devices, and not from the PC desktop, like here.
    1. Deo Kumar
      Deo Kumar
      You need to add another screenshots in your manifest.json with "wide" as a value for "form_factor"
    2. Ronald Fabian Macias
      Ronald Fabian Macias
      Hello, thank you for your response, I did notice it when reviewing your website manifest. thanks if it works

      The updated tutorial natively supports specifying narrow and wide screenshots.
