Our requirement is to build chrome book kiosk app and the app should work offline and upload the data to cloud when the device is connected to network. Can we make progressive apps as chrome kiosk apps? Or is there any better way to approach?

AFAIK, you can use PWA in as a kiosk app. You can check this tutorial about HOW TO IMPLEMENT PWA AND BARBA.JS INTO INTERNET KIOSKS and it is also included in the update of I/O 2014 for Web titled "Unleash the power of Kiosk Apps". Lastly, try checking this GitHub code that I've found. - Mr.Rebot

Starting in Chrome 81, you can install websites and progressive web apps (PWAs) on managed Chrome devices in locked-down kiosk mode. You can also automatically launch PWAs on a kiosk.

  1. From the Admin console Home page, go to Devices > Chrome.
  2. Click Apps & extensions > Kiosks.
  3. To apply the setting to everyone, leave the top organizational unit selected. Otherwise, select a child organizational unit.
  4. Click Add > Add by URL.
  5. Enter the URL and click Save.
