One effective method to release a Vue.js SPA and prevent users from encountering errors due to locally cached index.html file is to use versioning of the static assets (i.e CSS, JS, and images). This involves appending a version number to the file URLs, which forces the browser to fetch a fresh copy of the asset when it changes. This can be done manually or with a build tool, such as Webpack or Gulp.

Another approach is to use cache busting techniques, such as setting the Cache-Control header or using query parameters in the URLs to invalidate the cache. This can be done using server-side configurations or by using frameworks like Nuxt.js or Next.js.

Finally, you can also prompt the users to clear their browser cache when a new version of the SPA is released. This can be done by displaying a message to the users with instructions on how to clear their cache or by using a JavaScript library like ClearCache.js.
