I am currently developing an Ionic app with Capacitor. Strangely, the apk produces unexpected results.
This happened fairly often. Let me describe what I do.
When building the apk, I first make sure to delete the server key in capacitor.config.json. It is written there when I use Ionic Live Reload.
Then I use following commands to build the apk:
ionic build
ionic cap copy
ionic cap sync
ionic cap open android
Before I click the Play Button to install the app on my device, I go to my settings and clear the cache and data of the app, followed by a uninstallation of the app.
Then I install the new app on my phone. But strangely there are old values and also some old values from the internal database.
How could this happen? What am I doing wrong?
Here is my package.json:

I found the problem.
In the Android Manifest, setandroid:allowBackup="false". Its true by default and will load some old data when its not set to false.
