What happened?

I have been using actual-app api within node-red for years.

As of version 26.3, I get the following error when I try to load it:

ReferenceError: navigator is not defined

I tried poking around node-red first, as I understand that I might have been loading the package too early, to no avail.

Bumping the package back to 26.2 fixed this problem, regardless of how I load it within node-red, hence I opened this issue.

I am not a node expert, I have noticed though that for some reason node within node red is at version 20, but I am on the latest node-red version; not sure whether this plays a role.

Nonetheless, my trials guarantee that something has changed between version 26.2 and 26.3 - I hope someone can help me pinpoint this and solve this. Thanks!

How can we reproduce the issue?
