service worker is marked deleted after redirection to another app within same domain

[Mitesh Jain]

Hi,

I have posted this question on stack over flow last week but have not got any response so trying to reach out here.

Link - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54949523/

TLDR;

S/W is registered on www.domain.com/myapp and is successfully installed and running.

After user is redirected to www.domain.com/otherapp it is marked deleted but I am not able to receive any push events. 

If I dont address the scope, the s/w is marked redundant right away once user leaves myapp.

So I set the scope and same in the service  worker header response.

 

I dont have root app control (for now) so I am registering my s/w at /myapp in following mannrers

1. navigator.serviceWorker.register('/myapp/js/serviceWorker.js')
   
2. navigator.serviceWorker.register('/myapp/js/serviceWorker.js', {scope: '/'})
   
3. navigator.serviceWorker.register('/myapp/js/serviceWorker.js', {scope: '/otherapp'})
   

I have also made sure the respective scope in the s/w header in the response.

In all the above scenarios the s/w is marked deleted or redundant in case of no scope.

I am not sure if scope is the way to solve this or anything else I am missing.

One thing I have to try as per colleague's recommendation is registering at root level but I dont know if that is possible - 

navigator.serviceWorker.register('/serviceWorker.js');

Please let me know if someone has any lead.

Thank you.
