Request help to resolve the issue. I have been on this issue for long and don't know why its happening and how to fix it.

I have also added a comment on the issue on GITHUB -
#152

Hey there! I couldn't figure out what this issue is about, so I've labeled it for a human to triage. Hang tight.

[google-oss-bot]

Hmmm this issue does not seem to follow the issue template. Make sure you provide all the required information.

[mmermerkaya]

Firebase SDK does not have a 3.18.4 version. See versions on NPM here.

Please let us know the actual SDK version you're using.

[vinayakvanarse]

My bad. The Firebase SDK version is - [email protected]. Updated the Problem Ticket.

[vinayakvanarse]

Hi, any luck in resolving or guidance on where it is going wrong.

[mmermerkaya]

I can't reproduce this. Do you have an online app that I can test? Or somewhere I can see your whole project?

[mmermerkaya]

Closing for now, will reopen if you can help us reproduce the issue.

Hi, I have attached screenshots of the behaviour. Sequence of events is stored as filename in chronological order just to simplify things. I have also attached 3 files from the PWA namely .. index.html, my-app.html (main element), login.html and firebase-sw.js. Hope it will provide all the context to the issue.

I got another issue on login (but will set it out in different GIT issue) .....I did further testing and it works fine in SAFARI (both desktop and iPhone 6). Works fine in CHROME (desktop) .. just doesn't work fine in Pixel, Pixel XL and other android phones. All android after 1st time login to the PWA (which happens quite straight through)... subsequent logins are always double attempt.

Please reopen the issue as it's still happening.

AFAICT the error is thrown from the polymerfire package, and your messaging configs seem fine. Did you try opening an issue in firebase/polymerfire, or in StackOverflow?

[vinayakvanarse]

No ... I haven't done it in firebase/polymerfire yet. I will raise it now and provide a link here.

Raised a new issue....here is the link but no one has picked it but
FirebaseExtended/polymerfire#345

[vinayakvanarse]

Hi... I raised a support ticket with Firebase... I was suggested to raise it with Polymerfire team.

Hello Vinayak,

If this is an issue with PolymerFire, you'll need to follow up on their issue tracker. I also suggest checking out some of the solutions from StackOverflow. It looks like, for most people, the error is happening due to some issue with the manifest file.

Regards,
Andy

I checked my manifest file and it is getting loaded correctly and has correct MIME/Type: application/json

Not sure how to resolve the issue.

Manifest file -->
