iOS Localstorage issue when app update is issued
brandon obrien
relluf
Web SQL Database API. We have issued two updates for our app and with
each update our customers were forced to delete and reinstall the app,
as "a normal update" renders the app useless. After the update, an
exception occurs while opening the database through the Web SQL
Database API.

please tell me if I understand this correctly:
a) A user who installed my app while running <iOS5.1, then upgrades to
iOS 5.1, then upgrades my app, runs into the localstorage issue, and
does not see any error message.
b) A user who installs my app for the first time while running iOS
5.1, then upgrades my app, does NOT run into that problem ?
c) Is it correct to tell the user to do a fresh install of my app from
iTunes will fix the localstorage problem ?
thanks

I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced a similar issue to mine. I built and successfully launched an iOS app using PhoneGap 1.4.1. After a week or so I made some bug fixes and slight graphical changes and issued an update to the App Store. When the app got approved and people started downloading it, I had many people email me and tell me their localstorage was clearing out every time they closed the app.
In my case, I'm using localstorage to store a username and password that logs them into the app. When this data clears out each time it forces them to log in every time they open the app which is very frustrating.
I cannot seem to figure out what is causing this issue. If people delete and then re-install the app it fixes it and it works just fine, but if they do a standard update it seems to cause the issue.

A) User installs your app while running < iOS 5.1, then updates to iOS 5.1, then updates your app
B) User who installs your app for the first time on iOS 5.1, then updates your app
And as you surmise the only workaround for the user (until you publish another update with the workaround) is to do a fresh install..

The fix is very easy to apply. Look at the attachments on that bug, one is the source code from Shaz. He included a readme with instructions on how to merge the code into your AppDelegate for both old PhoneGap 0.9.6, and newer versions.

Justin,
Thank you for posting this. This is the exact issue that my users are experiencing. Being pretty amateur at iOS development (which is why I went with PhoneGap in the first place) I'm not sure how to go about executing the fix proposed
in that thread. Is there a block of code I need to insert into my AppDelegate or MainController to get it to change the storage path in the plist file?

My latest app release came out March 28 and now I am flooded with
emails and bad reviews, this sucks
We need something that screams at us when a major issue like this is
happening, maybe something like CRITICAL topic here on this board or a
dedicated page on phonegap.com

was hard to figure out what was going on in the first place, but now
it's an Apple confirmed bug in iOS 5.1. The "fix" is mainly a
workaround - it is unknown at this point of course if Apple's fix for
their bug (5.2? 5.3?) will unravel this workaround, or introduce new
ones.
Horst
I can confirm. All my users have lost their data, too. But i have hacked my ad system to show a warning message. And i had a fallback, because i used UDID for security reasons. So i was able to bring lost data back to users. This was many hours additional work, but in result i got lot 5 star ratings and many donations.
Funny, that UDID has saved my ass and now the next update will cause again a problem. When i cant use it, the users can't access their data.
I love the mobile world... ;-)
best regards
Horst
Pete
but I should post my warning instead of ads
what a mess
Pete
just downloaded your attachment files.
Is this Readme still correct https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12519748/README.txt
I see lots of messages dating after the README with other possible
instructions.
thanks

If you app is live with it, please post if it worked or not for you.
Since this is such a major issue, would be great to be sure its fixed
with that workaround.
Thanks Shazron for coming up with the fix.

I'm on the newly released cordova 1.6 using a sencha touch 2
application.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
