Question by Maru07 · May 17, 2012 at 05:28 PM · androidplayerprefsgoogle playappupdates

Does Android delete PlayerPrefs when Updating the App?

2Hours ago I asked about a possibility to save Player prefs to sd card to prevent deleting when updating the app but I almost forgot to ask: Does a mobile Device like Android delete Player Prefs of the app when Updating from the Store or Market?

Easy yes or no Question but I would like to read the Details as well :D

iOS doesn't, I have no experience with Android.

As far as I know, Android won't delete an app's data folder when updating. It might when uninstalling.

Are the PlayerPrefs saved to the Data Folder? The Unity Site doesnt say anything about that

For everyyone asking the same Question, I can definitly say that Android does not delete Player Prefs when performing an Update on the app. Im using Player prefs and they`re working perfectly fine and I can asure you that they will be kept even when the Game gets uninstalled. Take Care :)

@$$anonymous$$aru07 Android does not even delete when uninstalling the app.

I am using different apk name and still old prefs exist! what's the solution to clear them?

Except having a button which calls a function PlayerPrefs.DeleteAll()
