Yep since API 23. It's just that I never managed to generate a bug that would matter in this scenario.

You do not need to uninstall to clear the data (at least on my Android.)
Go into Settings, then Apps. Select the app then select Storage and you should have two buttons, one clears the cache the other clears the data and cache.

That's exactly what I did, but I can't expect the users to figure out that they will have to do the same. The app wasn't able to find the device in the database because it was sending wrong credentials. Basically the scenario is:
you want to track if the app is started for the first time, then get some credentials, store them on the device. You can't rely anymore on the lack of something that is stored there after the first start.
And it is working as intended on older devices. Anyway it is taken care of now, just one more thing to keep in mind.

Actually, agile done right is awesome! It's the work that dictates when a release can be cut, and not the other way around. At my company, release points are dev driven.

Unfortunately, I work for a hardware company managed by hardware engineers. Software types are treated as the demented cousin you keep in the attic because they can't be trusted not to pleasure themselves in public.

The difference, in reality, between agile and real programming is that real programming is driven to produce a working product and agile is driven to give management types lollipops as often as possible. A management/marketing point of view designed for the satisfaction of someone who doesn't do the work.

My boss has heard enthousiastic stories about Docker and now wants to use it for distributing Windows applications (both .NET and .NET Core). I never could get enthousiastic about Docker as it can not run Winforms applications, but I decided to give it a chance. Made a simple .NET Core console "Hello World" test application and in VS2017 used Add - Docker, built it and to my surprise everything built on the first try.
Nevertheless when I saw the size of the image with Windows Nano server, more than 400 Mb, my enthousiasm was gone again.
Am I the only one who can not get enthousiastic about Docker, is it me?
I would like to know what your opinion is on the matter

My opinion on Docker for Windows[^]

I haven't seen any advantage, though we (at the company) might be looking at Docker with AWS to spool up additional servers as load increases. The problem with that is we're heavily embedded in ASP.NET and given the above, running Windows in Docker is probably a horrid idea.

Back in the day, we could write an executable that consumed less than 500 bytes that could take down a major city's power grid.
Ahh, those were good times indeed.

Those that still can are dwindling.

In the old days of the Univac 1108 you could take down the entire mainframe with a single instruction...
In the indirect addressing format, the sign bit would indicate: This is not the address, but a pointer to the address. Which might have the indirect bit set, pointing to yet another address - or to itself. An infinte addressing loop. Using indirect addressing required no privilege; any arbitrary programmer/user could do it.
The bad thing was that the hardware design of the addressing logic required interrupts to be disabled (the 1108 had no paging, no page faults). There was no way to bring the machine out of the infinite loop, short of a full reboot.

that's why i enjoy embedded chip programming. for me it's more fun to work within 1kb of memory, than to figure out some modern application framework that might not be valid in a couple years time.

It's neat for running servers as you can nuke/rebuild your server in a hunch if anything goes wrong. But it's rather pointless for anything else.
Docker, just like any neat technology, has one or a couple of sensible use cases and a whole army of nutjobs following the cult because it's cool. Heck, not so long a go, some coffee company included the term "Blockchain" in the name and the share value soared. Not kidding, merely mentioning a current hot fad was enough to draw attention from said nutcases.

Once they sort out the "how do we make sure our 100000 docker images are all patched to latest security level" issue, it is going to be quite useful, but probably not for running applications on desktops. That was never the goal (though you never know what people will get hacked in - I guess with a X11 server it can already run Linux client software with the right settings).
Now think of a server farm that needs to run 1000 services based on the Windows Nano framework. Sure you can install whatever is needed by the 1000 services on all your machines. Good luck keeping that running on 20+ machined. Oh, need to add more machines to scale out. Sure, that will be ready in 2 days once it is all installed... what do you mean it is too late?
You can run the 1000 services in virtual machines. Just think about the size and memory overhead of that.
With Docker, every service will share the same (relatively limited number of) base images. They will run in the same kernel - consuming less overhead memory as well. Need to scale out? Bring a docker host online, add it to your container management software... and you are done.
There are a few other useful things. For example, your software can contain the docker definition for building your product. Need to build a hotfix for a version released 3 years ago? It will take a bit longer as the build agent will have to restore some old docker images - but then it will just run with the build agent looking like it did 3 years ago - and not as the current one with the incompatible versions of the build tools installed.
If your usage does not match this, then Docker simply isn't build to address any of the issues you have. Introducing it in this case will just add problems - not solve them.

I haven't use Docker much but to me the idea of docker is that everyone running you container has the same environment. It's like running a Virtual Machine, but with less overhead as it's using things from the currently installed Linux kernel.
Here you're on Windows, and you use a Windows Nano server image, meaning that your container will at least be of that size I guess. So to me it sounds more like as if you were just using a Virtual Machine.

That's what I found dissapointing, hearing all the hype about "small microservices" I was expecting something smaller than 433 Mb for a simple Hello World application.
