Bug 199937 – REGRESSION (iOS 13): Error: IndexedDB Server Was Lost Please refresh the page

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: WORKSFORME
• Component: Service Workers

[Sanjay Kumar]

if you kill a PWA or any webworker enabled app with a IDB transaction happening in a webworker, restarting the APp seems to lose IDB with above error message.

This is similar to or perhaps a duplicate of:
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=197050

This is critical because if IndexedDB is lost - the entire app stops working.

Please ensure that killing and restarting a page/PWA with IndexedDB in webworker - does not kill IndexedDB server for good.

Hi Sanjay,

Thank you for the report. Do you have the test app or web page that we can use to reproduce the issue?

https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=197050 is about process getting killed while backgrounded. Your case seems like you are killing the process manually.

Hi Sihui,

I re-architected my App and I have not seen this error message of late. I don't know now what exactly was causing the error or if it will return.

So I am marking this bug as works for me.
