Saving data files that persist through apk versions

Getting Started Newbie Questions

Hi,

I’m using this code for saving and reading data on my app:

https://github.com/robmiracle/Simple-Table-Load-Save-Functions-for-Corona-SDK

While beta testing my app, I had to upload to the Google Play store a new version of the app. When I tested it on the phone, I noticed that the saved data from the last version didn’t persist to the new version.

Is this going to happen to my users if I update the app on the released versions? I need to be able to consistently update the app but each user save files will be the same from version to version.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thank you for the help

I’ve used that module and not had that problem. Maybe you’ve accidentally used a different package name on your app?

The package is the same, if it wasn’t the store wouldn’t let me upload it.

App updates should preserve their data.  If you remove the app and then reinstall it, you will loose the saved data.
