Offline app updated works perfect on iOS - not so perfect on Android

[tangix]

Created a ST 2.1-RC2 application, compiled it using Sencha Cmd 3.0.0 and uploaded it to the server. Did a change and built it again using Sencha Cmd. Works perfect on iOS devices - the "Application updated - reload" message is shown and then new version is available after page reload. Also works perfect in Chrome on Windows.

Sadly no luck on android phones from Sony (running both 2.3.6 and 4.0.6) where the app is still showing the old version. Nothing less than clearing the offline cache makes the browser pick up the new version.

Where should I start looking...?

I had the same issues.
Sencha by default names the manifest file cache.appCache.
Some Android browsers don't like this (Galaxy S3).
Change the name of the file to 'cache.manifest' . That worked for me.
Good luck

Thank you for the answer, this works. However I lost the LocalStorage information when launching from the bookmark on the Start screen... It seems like the microloader gets the job done in the browser and LocalStorage is retained between launched. I am an iOS guy so please be patient with me when it comes to Android stuff...

A quick question - is there a way to control the name through app.json or sencha.cfg. The documentation says the file is named "cache.manifest" but as the documentation is pretty sketchy at best, I can't find anything if it is possible to configure this name.
