Since I'm not a web guy so not sure about it but as far as I know Service Workers are not fulfilling the requirements of hybrid app. There are mainly 2 reasons why Tizen 2.x supports are 1st, for service app and UI app that service app runs in a background always even though the UI app is not running, 2nd, to support *something* the web API doesn't support yet. I think running huge web apps for background listening will consumes too much memory for mobile devices especially smart watches.

Service workers are meant to solve that use case in browsers and runtimes. So one can develop a web message app or a web dialer, since it will be able to run a service worker in the background and wake up the front-end app when needed. http://www.w3.org/TR/2014/WD-service-workers-20141118/ Best regards, Zoltan _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.tizen.org/listinfo/dev
