Request: Add “Delete Service Worker” button in Firebase Studio preview (HMR workaround)

I’m having this issue right now.

It was a silent problem, that took me hours to realize it was occurring.

I added a version footer to my app and noticed it was not updating.

This is after a full pnpm purge, node modules and next purge as well.

After restarting the dev server, it is still not updating.

However, if I do what Pollarit mentioned and use the pop out feature, it’s up to date.

Issues like this need to be tracked and fixed and made into known issues.

Restarting a VM is a valid workaround, but only if the user notices the silent problem.

But, I tested that and even still my app preview is out of date, code view and prototyper.

I’m at a loss right now, I cannot use the in app web previews for development anymore.

I would greatly appreciate a workaround to remove this blocker.
