Jon Hoffman commented on CB-13203:
----------------------------------
Based on feedback on the Cordova Windows Slack channel I created a new proof of
concept app, with a new GitHub repository, that I added to the issue
description. I also added details about how the app was built and steps need
to reproduce/verify the issue. If you have any questions please let me know.
> Windows UWP shared Local Folder being removed
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CB-13203
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-13203
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: cordova-windows
> Affects Versions: 7.0.1
> Environment: When running on the Windows 10 platform
> Reporter: Jon Hoffman
> Assignee: Jesse MacFadyen
> Priority: Critical
> Labels: cordova-7.0.1, data-corruption, data-integrity,
> data-loss, windows-universal
>
> We are writing an application using Ionic 2 for Windows 10. The application
> will need to share data between different users on the same machine therefore
> we are using the shared local folder to save the data to as described in the
> "Using Shared Local" section of this page:
> https://blogs.windows.com/buildingapps/2016/05/24/sharing-your-local-app-data
> This method works great and we are able to write information to the shared
> local folder however when the application updates, all of the files in the
> shared local folder are removed. I tested this by updating the
> Cordova-Sqlite-Storage plugin to use the shared local folder and also with a
> proof of concept app
> (https://github.com/hoffmanjon/Cordova_Windows_UWP_Shared_Local_Folder2 ,
> https://github.com/hoffmanjon/Cordova_Windows_UWP_Shared_Local_Folder_plugin).
> I did create a native c# application to see if we had the same behavior
> when we updated a native application. When we updated the native app the
> shared local folder was not removed therefore this is an issue specific to
> the hybrid application.
> I put my proof of concept application that simply writes a text file to the
> shared local folder and the application local folder that can be used to see
> how the shared local folder is removed when we update the app. The repository
> is located here:
> https://github.com/hoffmanjon/Cordova_Windows_UWP_Shared_Local_Folder and
> includes a windows plugin to write to the shared local folder.
> You will need to set a group policy to get the shared local folders working.
> In the in the "Using Shared Local" section of this page:
> https://blogs.windows.com/buildingapps/2016/05/24/sharing-your-local-app-data
> it describes how to change the policy and which one to change.
> I have updated to Cordova 7.0.1 and built the proof of concept app to see if
> we have the same issue as describe with version 6.5
> (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12928). After updating the
> application the shared local folder is removed therefore the same issue
> exists with Cordova 7.0.1.
> --Edited to add a new repository for the proof of concept app. The
> repository also has detailed instructions on how the app was built and how to
> reproduce the issue.
