Connection refused when call ngsw-worker.js file and Service worker is not registering

I can’t register service worker in capacitor webview I used angular and capacitor 1.0.0-beta.24

I think that URL schema need to be https which service worker required, How to make this https ? or what is the suitable solution to register SW My package.json is :

and the problem is : (This is from Android Emulator)

Failed to load resource: net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
Uncaught Error: Uncaught (in promise): TypeError: Failed to register a ServiceWorker: An unknown error occurred when fetching the script.

So, the problem is the web worker requests don’t go through the regular shouldInterceptRequest.

You can use this workaround https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55894716/how-to-package-a-hosted-web-app-with-ionic-capacitor

You don’t need a plugin, you can use a similar code in the MainActivity.java like this:

if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 24 ){
      ServiceWorkerController swController = ServiceWorkerController.getInstance();

      swController.setServiceWorkerClient(new ServiceWorkerClient() {
        @Override
        public WebResourceResponse shouldInterceptRequest(WebResourceRequest request) {
          return bridge.getLocalServer().shouldInterceptRequest(request);
        }
      });
    }

But notice that it requires SDK 24 and Capacitor supports SDK 21, so it won’t work on 21-23

Is there any news about the matter? I am having the same issue
