I installed my PWA on windows through developer's console, and now can't uninstall it to test installing it. I've tried removing service worker from chrome, but it will just get reregistered after I open the PWA through windows (if server is on). When I right click on it and choose uninstall it takes me to windows app and features there's no entry for it, meanwhile the actual shortcut for it surely just leads to chrome with app ID in URL. Trying to install the PWA after everything I've tried will not give me the prompt again to add it to homescreen.
url: makpal.now.sh
screen:
The PWA apps reside in apps menu chrome://apps/ of chrome, and quite possibly exclusively under a different tab (a grayish second bar at the bottom of window), which is where you'd get the option to delete them that works.
EASY STEPS to Remove (uninstall) PWA App on Desktop:
1) Open Chrome Browser
2) Click > Apps button
3) Right click > App you want to remove
4) Select > Remove from Chrome... > Remove.
5) App gone. :)
On Mobile: drag to trashcan.
If you installed PWA using chrome then paste below in chrome URL bar and hit enter:
chrome://apps
Right click on desired app and click remove from chrome
Found the list of PWAs here.
C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Chrome-Apps
You can delete them from there.
If you have installed to Windows OS using developer console, I assume you have done it using the Chrome menu -> "Install to desktop" (if it comes as "add to desktop, it means your site is not meeting minimum PWA cirteria).
If you have installed in any other way, please be specific on what option you have used. It also contradicts at the end of your question, where you were complaining on "Install prompt" is not coming again for "add to home screen". From all I know, install prompt is not supported in Chrome for Windows yet(I know it works in Chrome for Android).
On your other question on service worker getting re-registered every time you visit, that's how they are supposed to work. They will get registered even if you visit a PWA site(adding to home screen is not needed, it will still register service worker and you get all caching benefits)
You can test all these PWA behaviors for this PWA compliant site -> https://pwa.rocks/
If you need more clarity, please rephrase your question to what exactly is happening and what use case is failing, along with supporting code. A link your your site will be best to debug for the community, if that's publicly available.
The Most useful answer I found: (for chrome)
Open Chrome and go to apps
Right click the PWA you want to remove
Click on "Remove from Chrome..."
I faced the same issue when I was built my first PWA and then when I Open anything else with live server it directed me to my PWA site.
You can also go to you windows control panel \ programs then uninstall from there. ( Referring to the PWA that you installed, not uninstalling the browser )

I need to troubleshoot an issue happening in a webview running within my app. This issue only occurs on Android versions lower or equal to 4.3. My app requires an up to date version of Google Play services.
In order to troubleshoot my webview, I usually can run my app under the Android Emulator (with the latest version of Android), then connect to the web view via Chrome (using chrome://inspect) - the web view appears in Chrome and I'm able to browse the DOM and debug.
To run the app under 4.3, I've created (under AVD) a new device from an existing device definition,
then picked the target Google APIs (Google Inc.) - API Level 18. I've then installed my app, but when trying to run it, I get the error message "This app won't run unless you update Google Play services.". There's an "Update" button on the previous dialog, but nothing happen when clicking on it.
I then tried to debug my issue using Genymotion. I've created a device under 4.3, followed these instructions to flash my device with the latest Google Play services and installed my app. I can now run the app and reproduce the issue within this simulated environment.
The trick now is to be able to connect to the web view from my local Chrome browser. I've enabled remote debugging as described here. Now my device appears in Chrome, but the web view is not showing up in the inspector. Similarly, if I open a new tab under the native browser, it won't show up in the remote inspector. If I open a new tab under Android Chrome though, I can see it showing up under my remote Chrome inspector.
I can see two way moving forward and successfully accessing to the DOM of my webview:
Fixing the "Update" issue under the Android Emulator running 4.3
Or
Connecting to my web view from my Chrome inspector while running the app under Genymotion
Any idea on how to solve one of these two problems?
I have been using weinre for sometimes. it's a pretty good tool to debug webview for android 4.3 and lower. It provides almost same interface as chrome debugger.
All you need to do are:
Install weinre
sudo npm -g install weinre
Client side:
Insert the following code to your webpage <head> section.
Note: it's better to put it at end of <head> section, otherwise there will be some strange errors and debugger won't show up.
<script src="http://<your server ip here>:8081/target/target-script-min.js"></script>
Server side
weinre --boundHost -all- --httpPort 8081
Debugger
open the debugger tool from weinre from your desktop browser:
http://localhost:8081/client/
Finally,
select any target in Targets part and then start debugging.
Remote debugging web views only works on devices with android 4.4 and above.
have a look at this :

I want to package and launch my BlackBerry Hello World application for WebWorks. For developement, I am using the Ripple emulator. The Ripple simulator says:
The build and deploy services are not currently running, would you like to start them?
After pressing the button Start Services nothing happens and no errors are in the error console.and i also did below steps as i have searched and get this result:
There are two reasons this might be happening. The first is that Chrome is preventing this from happening.
Open the Tools --> Extensions screen in Chrome
Enable 'Developer Mode' checkbox if it isn't already
Are you running Chrome in Incognito mode? If so enable the 'Allow in Incognito' checkbox
The other options is that nodejs is being blocked. If you're on windows, I'd suggest making sure that all user permissisons are enabled to allow you to run Chrome in a way that it can launch external processes.
And After doing all when ever i refresh page it says
The build and deploy services are currently running at localhost:9910. and after loading that page this message not visible but
The build and deploy services are not currently running, would you like to start them? message still there! please explain what's wrong here?
Thanks
This issue is solved by removing Ripple extension version 0.9.15 and installing version 0.9.16 (latest as of this posting), and restarting Chrome. When you click the 'Start Services' button, the console should appear displaying a build service start up message.

I am not able to install the GWT Developer plugin for Internet Explorer.
After getting the yellow patch saying:
Development Mode requires the Google Web Toolkit Developer Plugin
I click on Download plugin. Instead of redirecting to a download site it shows:
Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage
What might be the probable cause?
Actually the page is not redirecting to :
"https://dl-ssl.google.com/tag/s/appguid%3D%7B9a5e649a-ec63-4c7d-99bf-75adb345e7e5%7D%26lang%3Den%26appname%3DGWT%2520Developer%2520Plugin%2520for%2520IE%2520%2528x86%2529%26needsadmin%3Dfalse/gwt/plugins/ie/GwtDevPluginSetup.exe"
Is there any alternate way to install that plugin?
Please help!!
I faced the same problem and i think that there is no development mode for IE8. it didn't work when i tried to run it in IE. So i advice you to use Chrome it is the best browser supports GWT dev mode. Why do you need IE anyway ?
read this article about IE http://googlewebtoolkit.blogspot.com/2010/12/support-for-gwt-dev-mode-in-ie-9.html
Even I had the same issue in installing the plugin for IE, what i did was just copy and pasted the missing plugin url in address bar and hit the enter button. And installed it, so finally it worked. The issue was, the browser was unable to redirect to the plugins update site, after clicking on download link.
Hope this might fix your problem.
I am new to Eclipse and I have created a small web app and it works but when I do Run on Server (Tomcat) from Eclipse it launches the website in its own internal web browser.
I wondered if it was possible to have it launch Firefox for example?
Do I need to download Aptana?
I would just enter the URL in your preferred browser, and bookmark it. As simple as that. You'll have to do it with different browsers anyway if you want to test the app on multiple browsers.
You can also choose which browser is used by going to Window - Preferences - General - Web Browser.
yes if u want your application to get started on firefox ..Go to window tab at the top of your eclipse IDE from there preferences and the go to general from there select browsers
check radio button of use external web browser and select the browser u want firefox or IE..
Today I started testing a gwt application on a new notebook with Windows 7. Testing with Firefox went OK, then I started it in IE8. The "Development Mode requires the Google Web Toolkit Developer Plugin" comes up, fine, click on Download. A moment (and a download) later, an IE security warning window comes up ("Do you want to run this software?"), click Run. BTW, I started IE as Administrator...
Then a nice progress bar is displayed, with an "Initializing..." the text above, and it stays stuck forever.
Any ideas?
I had same issue, I think the installer isn't registering the plugin dll correctly. You can do this manually in a command prompt via:
regsvr32.exe "C:\Users\<your user name>\AppData\Local\Google\Google Web
Toolkit\Developer Plugin\IE\oophm.dll"
This is based on a post on the GWT groups.
