@mikelgs @pmiossec @n0iroh How to upgrade apps is always under discussion, but solving it generally is more tricky that you might think. TL;dr It amounts to a distributed upgrade that needs to make sure all state currently in transit resolves, and everybody has the same state on all devices, and upgrades might be delayed because devices are offline currently etc. The current crutch is: export all state to a file, post the new app, import the state, and remove the old app.

@delta
Oh, now I understand what he meant 😅👍
Anyway that seems to confirm what I said: all mini apps should provide the export - import option

@delta @mikelgs @n0iroh knowing that is in discussion is big relief.
That's the way I do it but if a version upgrade could be done by automating all this process (as it is very difficult to discover it --it's written nowhere how to do it!-- especially for a not technical person) and without requiring to rely on webapp import/export implementation (because all the data is already there!), it would be a good starting point.
Anyways, thanks for the great chat (just sorry that it does not have more users)
