Summary

Recently, I noticed that NextJS 11 is shifted to Webpack 5 and JEST is renamed to JOI. when I am running my application production or development is don't see next-PWA generating any files. and I got these warnings during installation.

Because of the V8 engine whims, feature detection in old core-js versions could cause a slowdown up to 100x even if nothing is polyfilled. Please, upgrade your dependencies to the actual version of core-js.

1. What make you think next-pwa is deprecated?
2. What make you think "JEST is renamed to JOI"?
3. I don't maintain the example inside next.js repository unfortunately, does the examples in this repository not good enough for you?

1. What this line means (node:11604) [DEP_WEBPACK_COMPILATION_ASSETS] DeprecationWarning: Compilation.assets will be frozen in future, all modifications are deprecated?
2. warning next-pwa > workbox-webpack-plugin > workbox-build > @hapi/joi@15.1.1: Switch to 'npm install joi'.
3. Yes, I understand that most of the next.js examples are outdated, after this recent version update most of the examples are giving deprecation warning. my application is totally dependent on pwa, that's why I don't want to use any packages such as next-pwa and next-sitemap which might cause problems in future.

I have installed this plugin and when this plugin is uninstalled, Vercel returns 500 internal server error.

This seems to be messing with package-lock.json (babel/core), hope this can be a hint of a fix.

I was stuck in the same problem, finally solved. Remove target: 'serverless' in next.config.js. Ref: vercel/next.js#10633
