Unregister Service Worker
If you want to unregister the service worker from your PWA application, you only need to add selfDestroying: true to the plugin configuration.
vite-plugin-pwa plugin will create a new special service worker and replace the existing one in your application once deployed in production: it has to be put in the place of the previous broken/unwanted service worker, with the same name.
DANGER
It is IMPORTANT TO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING in the plugin configuration, especially DO NOT CHANGE THE SERVICE WORKER NAME, just keep the options and the PWA UI components (if included), the plugin will take care of changing the service worker and avoid interacting with the UI if configured.
In a future, if you want to add the PWA again to your application, you only need to remove the selfDestroying option or just disable it: selfDestroying: false.
Development
You can also check the selfDestroying plugin option in the dev server with development options enabled: check Development section for more info.
Examples
You have in the examples folder the **-destroy scripts in their corresponding package.json, you can try it on the development server or from the production build.
