Duplicate state when switch monkey version

Monkey Targets Forums/Android/Duplicate state when switch monkey version

When I make game update, I using monkey 68c. Last code is 66b
I notice the game state of my game not continue. When I re-install back old game that use monkey 66c the state come back. Look like now there are 2 state save in different place for 66b and 68c version.

My package and key-store is exactly the same.

My user unhappy because their game point gone. I check and do some test and found that version 68c (with the new major changes) probably incompatible with the old state created by 66b.

Was this change documented? I have yet to test.

Yikes, this is a scary one, anyone know what's happening here? Many of my games went out under 66b and I've updated since then. If I put out updates and all my players' progress in-app upgrades, etc, are lost I'll have an enormous support issue and lost data.

Some additional info on this has been posted here and Mark is now aware about it / posted a fix too. http://www.monkeycoder.co.nz/Community/posts.php?topic=4925

If you are making enough money with IAP you should probably make a simple cloud based save system / IAP recovery tool of some kind.
