I have an app whose sole purpose is to create shortcuts to various functions in the app. The user can control the icon and shortcut name at creation time.
The issue: on many devices, all shortcuts previously created on homescreens get reset to the default app icon and name when an update to my shortcut app is installed. Since many users may have dozens of shortcuts they created, this can be very annoying since now they all look identical and all have the same caption under them! The only "fix" is to delete and recreate them which can be time consuming.
I realize that the OS itself is responsible for the shortcut / widget icons after the user creates them but is there something I can do to prevent existing shortcuts created with the app from changing when a new version installs? Maybe an option in the manifest or something?
