Does the contents of localStorage have any bearing on updating an app?

Question

I am building an app with Angularjs 1.5.3, Cordova 6.5, and Ionic 1.3.3. I am using localStorage so the app can be used offline. Does the contents of localStorage have any affect on updating an app from the app store? I want to wipe local storage if a user logs out of the app.

I suggest to use sqlite for persistent storage. You cannot rely on localStorage and cache handling by the browser to retain your data.

Effective clearing should be handled through lifecycle hooks.

I heard that sql is slow for cordova app if you are just getting some key/value pair. – user1261710 Oct 06 '17 at 07:46

Please take a look at answer to this stackoverflow question.

Also you may consider using sessionStorage that has the same API, but is cleared when app/browser/tab is shutdown.
