localStorage not persisting on app rebuild with Java 8

Hi there,

I've been developing my app for 10 months and in all that time I've been using localStorage to persist user data. I know there are better options but it has served my purpose fine up to now.

I'm just developing for Android and I would write my code and then install onto my phone with ionic run android --device

The changes would be installed and my user data would still be there.

However, just today I needed to upgrade to use Java 8 rather than 7 in order to support the new Google Play Services (I think that's what required it).

Now when I rebuild and reinstall the app with ionic run android --device all of my localStorage data is wiped and the app installs as if totally new.

Is this to be expected?
Is there something I can change to make it work like it did before?

Many thanks for any responses.

Potentially useful information:

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_101-b13)

$ cordova -version

OS

Android version (on phone)
6.0.1 - security patch 5 October 2016.
(Just updated today so potentially also a cause of the change)
