InjectionToken SwRegistrationOptions is ignored when using standalone bootstrapApplication function.

Which @angular/* package(s) are the source of the bug?

service-worker

Is this a regression?

Yes

Description

Hi, I've made a little repo to illustrate the issue.

When using the old NgModule based syntax to init your app with a service worker, then your provided SwRegistrationOptions is found and respected.

Runing the app gives you a console log.

When using standalone app syntax, via bootstrapApplication then your provided SwRegistrationOptions is not not found nor respected. Runing the app does not give you a console log.

Likely it was overlooked in the PR where the provideServiceWorker function was added. Or perhaps I'm just misunderstanding how it's supposed to work now.

Aha, I looked at the unit tests for the feature and noticed that there's coverage for the SwRegistrationOptions override case, and the tests are obviously green :)

It turns out that the order is important here. One must register the custom options AFTER calling provideServiceWorker, as that function will overwrite your provider with the (non existing) options passed in as second argument.

The following works ✅

bootstrapApplication(AppComponent, {
  providers: [
    provideServiceWorker('ngsw-worker.js'),
    {
      provide: SwRegistrationOptions,
      useFactory: serviceWorkerInitFactory,
    },
  ],
});

While this does not work

bootstrapApplication(AppComponent, {
  providers: [
    {
      provide: SwRegistrationOptions,
      useFactory: serviceWorkerInitFactory,
    },
    provideServiceWorker('ngsw-worker.js'),
  ],
});

With #63364 we've announced that the service-worker package in now in maintenance mode and will not receive feature PRs and feature requests.
