Upgrade Path: Non Cordova App - Cordova App

Question

Here is the situation:

• app currently in production packaged using home brewed packager
• new packager has been created that uses cordova

Is there a way I can fix the upgrade path so that when I update from an old version of the app packaged using the old packager to the new version of the app packaged with cordova it will recognise that the new app is an upgrade and not a completely different app?

Right now installing the new version of the app just sticks it alongside the old app with the same name.

Thanks.

Answer 1

you have to use the same bundle identifier (ios) or package name (android), if it's the same the old app will be removed when you install the new version
