Can iOS and Android apps (who store user data locally) be updated without losing pre-existing data? -


i've seen number of similar questions posed sake of specificity — possible update existing app without losing end users existing information?

the scope of existing app is: - available on ios , android - stores user data in app, locally - app not require internet connection @

the changes app be: - re-skinning - fixing technical debt/bugs - maybe adding functionality (such notifications)

if can possible update without losing local data, original source code required? (i'm assuming answer "duh")

unfortunately can't share name of exact (client request).

thanks!

is possible update existing app without losing end users existing information?

if developer of original app, yes. otherwise, no, @ least on android (and assume holds true ios well), obvious security reasons.

would original source code required?

usually, though presumably welcome reimplement entire app scratch if prefer. bigger thing — again, on android @ least — need signing key used digitally sign original application. can update app if signing key same.
