As a pre-requisite to #699, it would be necessary to allow the Service Worker alone to activate the main app. Here's how this should work:

  • The Service Worker has previously registered a Fetch event listener
  • When a Fetch event occurs (or potentially some others if we were to have push notifications, for example), the Service Worker can:
    • Check if the app is already open using clients.matchAll()
    • If open, focus that window using client.focus() (we may not need this)
    • If closed, launch the app with clients.openWindow(url)
