Using Mono for Android, Monodevelop 2.8.6.5
Deploying to real device (like to emulator too) always wipes user data (files, shared preferences, sqlite tables, etc). Is there any way to prevent it?
This problem was solved for Visual Studio here ( https://stackoverflow.com/a/7669912/792367 ) but I can’t find solution for MonoDevelop.
Mono for Android on MonoDevelop has had this feature for a few months now. It won’t wipe user data on redeploy, and if you have the Fast Deployment option on, it won’t even send the entire package, just the changed assemblies. You need to check the MonoDevelop and Mono for Android versions you have installed and make sure they’re up to date.
