[Bug]: Can't update the PWA client on Android after updating actual-server about actual HOT 6 OPEN

If you're not using node and using yarn start to launch Actual, sometimes the dependencies aren't updated during the yarn install command. You can delete the node-modules folder and rerun yarn install && yarn start to reinstall all the dependencies.

You can update the PWA by regarding the page. On mobile I usually have to open the PWA once, close the PWA by swiping it away, then reopen it and it will update.

I've done that multiple times, hasn't helped :/

If all else fails, this should work is either A) clear all browser data or B) delete the pwa shorcut, clear all browser data, and recreate the pwa shortcut.

I'm building it using a nix flake (https://git.xeno.science/xenofem/actual-nix/), all the dependencies were reinstalled from scratch and are definitely up to date; like I said, I was able to get the client to update on desktop Firefox with no issues just by Ctrl+Shift+Ring.

Yeah, I'm confident that'd accomplish the goal as a workaround, I may end up doing that to resolve it in this instance. I still think there should be a simpler way to accomplish this (in particular, a way that definitely doesn't risk any data loss if the client isn't done syncing for some reason), hence the bug report.

That's a fair point, wonder if something could be added where the sync button (top right) could be utilized to not just sync changes but also update the local client.
