[jira] [Updated] (CB-6033) Android 4.4 update loses LocalStorage
data
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-6033?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Joe Bowser updated CB-6033:
---------------------------
Priority: Major (was: Critical)
I'm not convinced that the data has been wiped entirely, since it may be possible to recover the SQLite backing store the old browser was using somehow. Hopefully the WebView didn't just delete this single file. There may be a work-around, but I don't know if I can get buy-in for this due to the nature of the bug.

> Key: CB-6033
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-6033
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Android
> Reporter: Darryl Pogue

> This appears to be a result of the switch from old WebView to the new Chrome-powered WebView.
> If an app is installed in 4.3 and saves data to LocalStorage (and possibly to WebSQL) and then the device is updated to 4.4, that data appears to be lost.
