   Hi @zs-dima, just to confirm the actual result. Will the page show the new content or will the page never be updated after several time refreshes the browser?

   Also, on my end, when I check this on Flutter stable 3.22.1, the page will display the new content after I refresh the browser a few times (1, 2, or 3 times...it's not fixed). But on the latest master channel, the page display new content right after one time refresh the browser. Could you re-check this on Flutter master channel?

   flutter doctor -v (stable and master)

   @huycozy thanks a lot for looking into.

   1. This issue is the successor to (closed by disappointed author) Web Cache invalidation based on Build Number #63500 to rimind that the 4+yo issue has not yet been resolved.
   2. As you can see in the original issue and @kevmoo reply it has not yet been resolved in any channel, including master channel.
   3. After a new Flutter Web app deployed - users has to see updated version, but currently it is cached old version. Cache has to works in-between updates but after a new Flutter Web app deployed users has to see updated version.
   4. Ideally Flutter has to cover this case as well: Flutter web - Need documentation on how to conditionally display a "Refresh. New Version is available." prompt when updated code is deployed to production. #104509

   Hope it will be FIXED at last, and we don't have to wait 4 more years and end up closing it just because of author frustration.
   The original issue's priority was P2 and nothing was done for years, so the priority for this descendant issue has to be P1 or P0.

   Workarounds which work for me are mentioned here: #63500 (comment)

   I can reproduce this issue on a new Flutter project on both stable and master channels. It needs to be activated at least twice (press the refresh page button on browser) to see updates.

   Since #63500 has been closed, I will label this as a new one.

   flutter doctor -v (stable and master)

    Umbrella Roadmap: Content-Hashed Web Output & Cache Busting

    Following the removal of default built-in service worker generation (#156910), we are delivering first-party, content-hashed output filenames (--web-content-hash) across Flutter Web to enable reliable browser cache invalidation and long-term Cache-Control: public, max-age=31536000, immutable headers.

    👉 See the Sub-issues list at the top of this issue for live status and linked pull requests across all delivery phases.
