@jennyf19 Not since I added
android:allowBackup="false"to my project. I think you’re right about the old cached token and it kept coming back because for some reason Visual Studio deployments were triggering a restore of local storage. I’m glad I raised the issue though, it’s something to be aware of. Something for the Visual Studio to team to look into disabling on debug deployments!If the problem comes back I’ll raise the issue again.
Thanks for your help!
