--- Comment #6 from Nathan Wild <nathan_wild at hotmail.co.uk> ---
Is there an intention in the future to make this work with custom URL schemes for loading/registering the service worker?

There's a known limitation right now with apps that are solely built on wrappers creating a WKWebView to display their content (Cordova, Capacitor etc.) that service workers aren't a possible solution for handling offline content, passing authorization headers etc. on known requests.

For example, Capacitor uses its own custom URL scheme (capacitor://) to serve content as http/https are reserved for remote content, this alone would prevent service workers from being used as they would need to be served under that protocol instead, see https://github.com/ionic-team/capacitor/issues/7069.
