Using SQLite with Chrome 119

Starting with Chrome 119, Google has deprecated SQlite, also referred to as WebSQL. They have been warning of this for a while. (If you're interested in why they are doing this, [out this post]).

There are a couple of workarounds. In the short run, you can register your site for an [Trial], which restore the functionality until May 28, 2024 when Chrome 124 is scheduled to appear. Directions how to do this follow.

For a permanent solution, you will need to include the SQLite code as a library in your project, since it will no longer be built into the browser. This solution is referred to as SQLite WASM: we will be providing instructions how to use it in the near future.

How to Register Your App to Continue to Use SQLite

1. Go to this page: [to WebSQL Trial]

2. Fill in the URL for your site in the Web Origin. For example: https://www.nsbasic.com

3. Check the 4 square disclosure boxes.

4. You may also need to Sign In into Google.

5. You will then see a screen like this:

6. Copy the Token from that screen.

7. In AppStudio Project Properties, go to ExtraHeaders and add this line:

<meta http-equiv="origin-trial" content="Avihurku4HHj...">

8. Your app should now work properly.
