Settings are remaining after an app is deleted

Version Number of Plugin: 2.5.1.0 Device Tested On: iPad Pro

Expected Behavior

If I cancel an app, all settings are deleted

Actual Behavior

If I cancel an app and I reinstall it, I have all my old settings. For example I save in settings, if an app is started for the first time. If yes I create some demo data.

Steps to reproduce the Behavior

Delete and app and reinstall it.

Are you testing on device or simulator? See: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24985825/nsuserdefaults-not-cleared-after-app-uninstall-on-simulator as it may not be removed from Simulator.

I have this issue too. Using a simple string. I have no clue how to provide more information.

Same here, using the latest version of the plugin (only on Android though).

On Android you would have to turn off auto backup: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/autobackup
