Hi!

We have an app that is distributed privately through Apple Bussiness Manager to a certain company. Here is the situation:

  1. The user deletes the app
  2. The user reinstall the app from AppStore
  3. The app displays an error according to which it already finds a database on the phone

Using the device console from xcode I found the the app bundle is not deleted when the app is deleted.

If the user deletes the application, shouldn't all data related to the application be deleted?

I've noticed the same thing happening. Not just databases but things like values in defaults remain. But only for a short while, if you delete an app then reinstall it within a few or several seconds of deleting it then this occurs, if the time gap is longer, say a few minutes, then it gets deleted.
