You shouldn't try to "open" index.html, you need to serve it.

When you build, you get instructions in the terminal telling you how to do it. Have you tried following them?

@ankithkonda You can do it by commenting out the following line in index.js

import registerServiceWorker from './registerServiceWorker';
registerServiceWorker();

Then, inside build/index.html, you will need to change the path of every import to relative one using ./ .
For example, change src="/static/js/main.xxx.js" to src="./static/js/main.xsss.js"
You will need to do this for the JS, CSS, manifest and also favicon.

Hope that helps.

Service worker works only on HTTPS connection or localhost. Not file://
