Jon Hoffman updated CB-13203:
-----------------------------
Description:
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_Folder3 ,
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.
