indexeddb lost when updating app from cordova-android 9 to cordova-android 11

[vladansaracpv]

Hi,

We have an app that's currently on app/play store and uses cordova-android 9.
We created new version of the app with cordova-android 11 (to align with google requirements).
When we do the update from store version to new version, all storage data is lost.
Any idea what could be the problem?

We're using storage like this:
IonicStorageModule.forRoot({ driverOrder: ['indexeddb', 'sqlite', 'websql'] }),

@vladansaracpv We are facing the same problem. Were you able to find a solution to it?

Hi @marcelkipp. What we had to do in the end was to create migration script that would migrate data from local storage/data to sqlitedb (during app initialization) before the storage is wiped out.
