SW Being Cached on Github Pages

[IstoraMandiri]

Hi, I've noticed that github pages caches the sw.js with a Cache-Control:max-age=600.

If you visit the app, and refresh the page, this cache will be extended by another 10 minutes, so if you refresh again and again every minute, the app will never update (it's always serving the cached service worker with a refreshed max-age).

I followed the guide and it does update if you leave the page open for 10+ minutes, but I can't see a way right now for forcing the SW to uncache itself.

See facebook/create-react-app#2554 SWI3

Current Config:

  OfflinePluginRuntime.install({
    onUpdating: () => {
      console.log('SW Event:', 'onUpdating');
    },
    onUpdateReady: () => {
      console.log('SW Event:', 'onUpdateReady');
      // Tells to new SW to take control immediately
      OfflinePluginRuntime.applyUpdate();
    },
    onUpdated: () => {
      console.log('SW Event:', 'onUpdated');
      // Reload the webpage to load into the new version
      if (window.confirm('A new version of the app has been pushed. Would you like to reload?')) {
        window.location.reload();
      }
    },
    onUpdateFailed: () => {
      console.log('SW Event:', 'onUpdateFailed');
    }
  });

There is a spec being developed to solve that, but it isn't implemented anywhere yet. Also it of course won't affect browser which have ServiceWorker implemented already without that feature. So the best way to solve it is to never cache the ServiceWorker file .
