Indeed not, Ubuntu Touch’s security model means that an app cannot access other apps’ data (including cache). You might want to look into the OpenStore though, it allows publishing apps with special permissions, for advanced users (see http://notyetthere.org/openstore-tweakgeek-and-more/). Alternatively, it might be a good idea to expose a way to do that from the system settings app (under About>Storage I guess), I don’t know if such a feature is planned or in the works, but if it is I’m sure your help would be very appreciated. Take a look at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-system-settings if you’re interested in contributing to the system settings app. Cheers, Olivier > Am 21.03.2016 um 15:11 schrieb Olivier Tilloy: >> >> On Mon, Mar 21, 2016 at 2:13 PM, Ferdinand Holzner >> <[email protected]> wrote: >>> >>> Hi there, >>> >>> is it possible to clear the webapp cache, if something goes wrong? >>> >>> Sometimes i have trouble with the twitter webapp. It crashes and i think >>> the >>> only way to resolve this, is to clear the cache. >> >> Not from the UI directly (that I know of), but you apps store their >> cache data under /home/phablet/.cache/<APP_ID>, so removing the >> corresponding directory should do the trick. >> >> For twitter, the directory is: >> /home/phablet/.cache/com.ubuntu.developer.webapps.webapp-twitter >> >> You can e.g. install the terminal app and run the following command: >> >> rm -r /home/phablet/.cache/com.ubuntu.developer.webapps.webapp-twitter >> >> HTH, >> >> Olivier > > -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
