How can I disable Mobile Web Plugin WITHOUT disabling Workbox Host Plugin?

[Kurt Rosivatz]

We have disabled the Mobile Web Plugin of Confluence on our site because on an incompatible app (Scroll Translations) that can not display translated pages correctly in mobile view. Disabling the Mobile Web Plugin disables the Workbox Host Plugin (without notice!) so I discovered this effect after getting lots of error messages in the logs. When I re-actived the Workbox Host Plugin it re-activates the Mobile Web Plugin to (again without notice).

I guess that at least one of the 66 modules of the Workbox Host Plugin are the reason and disabling the correct ones would allow me to disable Mobile Web Plugin and still keeping Workbox Host active.

Any idea how a can achieve this?

Your assumption is correct - the workbox relies on some of the functions that the mobile web app provides.

Disabling parts of the mobile app won't work, the workbox is relying looking for the main classes it provides and if any of them are disabled, it will fail.

I can only recommend that you re-enable the core plugin and live with the Scroll translations problem until it gets fixed.
