The approach will change back when they implement WebAPK in the stable channel. So Chrome has the solution but it wasn’t shipped yet. I think the worst problem here is the lack of priority to realize shipping that solution was a must feature to keep PWAs a first class citizen on Android Oreo.

In a couple of months probably we won’t be hearing about this problem anymore (unless the connection to the Chrome Signing server is down) but the point is how harm the delay in the solution will make to Google’s image on PWA support.

Remember who punched you! Not the messenger ;)
