Andrew Grieve commented on CB-6033:
-----------------------------------
The KK webview and the pre-KK webview use different formats (no idea how they
are different) to store data. Upon upgrade of a device, the KK webview just
considers the files corrupt and deletes them.
For Cordova to fix this, we'd need to extract the data from the file ourselves
before the webview deletes it, and then re-insert using the new webview.
Does this affect WebSQL as well? Or just localstorage?

> This appears to be a result of the switch from old WebView to the new
> Chrome-powered WebView.
> If an app is installed in 4.3 and saves data to LocalStorage (and possibly to
> WebSQL) and then the device is updated to 4.4, that data appears to be lost.
