How do the updates to webAPK take place on changing manifest.json served at same origin?


I am testing the scenarios where the update to manifest.json result in the update to the progressive web app. According to the google documentation, https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/integration/webapks#update-webapk, the updates are checked after every 1 day or 30 days interval depending on the server. I tried changing my manifest and changed my system time to advance by a day, but I was unable to view any changes in the web app. Can someone help me, in how exactly will the update to manifest be propagated to my web app installed?
