Describe the Bug Updating phonegap app to ionic 3 app making localStorage clear. so i'm not able to get previous values stored by phonegap app with localStorage. (note: i'm not clearing localStorage anywhere in my app)

Steps to Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Make any phonegap app
2. Use localStorage to save something, like ('login','true') and install app on mobile device
3. Make ionic 3 app with same id, use same localStaorage to retrive data .
4. log or alert data you will get null instead of some vlaue

Expected Behavior When we update the app , app must persist the localStorage. ionic should not clear the app storage. We must able to use previously store data.
