 * Hello, when performing changes in the website, how to force the PWA to show those
   changes without having to install the app again?

 * Hi,
 * Thank you for reaching out to us.
 * Just to clarify, if you make changes to things like the app’s name, short name,
   or icons, they currently won’t trigger an update on Android Chrome or iOS Safari.
   Only updates to things like background **color, display, orientation, scope, 
   shortcuts, start_url,** or **theme color** actually make the **PWA** refresh.
 * On Android, if a valid change is detected, the **PWA** usually starts updating
   within 24 hours. But this happens only after the app is closed, and the device
   is plugged in and connected to WiFi. Chrome will then request an updated version
   of the app in the background. If Chrome can’t access your manifest file for example,**
   if the file is missing** or **there’s a server issue**, it may wait up to 30 
   days before checking again.
 * Kindly refer to this article for better understanding: [https://web.dev/articles/manifest-updates#cr-android](https://web.dev/articles/manifest-updates#cr-android)
