As of Chrome 35, apps are assumed to be offline enabled and the default value of "offline_enabled"
is true unless "webview" permission is requested. In this case, network connectivity is assumed
to be required and "offline_enabled" defaults to false.

performed when launching an app in ChromeOS kiosk mode. A network connectivity check will be
performed when apps are not offline enabled, and app launching put on hold until the device obtains
connectivity to the Internet.
