Hi,

We totally understand your problem. As you probably already figured out, one 
would need to release an intermediate version of the app that copies 
Crosswalk’s user folders to the corresponding location used by the WebView, and 
later a version of the app without Crosswalk (with the obvious risk that people 
who miss the intermediate update lose their data). Unfortunately, we are not 
able to implement this functionality in Crosswalk and make a new release, so 
you would need to take care of this in your app, e.g. in MainActivity.java.  
The code in the PR below gives you an idea on how to do it.

I hope this helps. 

Kind regards,

Francesco

    Hi,
    
    since Crosswalk isn't actively maintained anymore, developers need to 
switch to the original Android WebView sooner or later.
    Many apps rely on localstorage, Cookies or similar. When removing 
Crosswalk, none of them can be accessed anymore.
    My question: Is there any way to move the data back to the original 
WebView? So the opposite of this PR: 
https://github.com/crosswalk-project/crosswalk/pull/3146
    
    To me, this is a huge problem: I know that some day, Crosswalk simply won't 
work anymore. But I cannot remove it since all my user's data will be lost. Is 
there maybe a plugin or setting I am missing that could help?
    
    I really hope we can find a solution for this problem! Looking forward to 
your reply. :-)
