We observed that our app is having allowBackup as true after the build but we are not setting it anywhere. So, is it default value. And what is the importance of this flag. Is there any way we can make it false, and if so would it impact the application in any way?
Our minimum and target versions are - 2.3.3 and 4.4.
Hi,
android:allowBackup:
Whether to allow the application to participate in the backup and restore infrastructure.
If this attribute is set to false, no backup or restore of the application will ever be performed,
even by a full-system backup that would otherwise cause all application data to be saved via adb.
The default value of this attribute is true.
Thank you,
Hi @Chwistivn Ruthewfowd​ ,
You can disable it in project settings, by placing below tag in Application Tag attributes
android:allowBackup="false"
