We are seeing an error complained about by the users of one of our applications. To the best of my knowledge, the users that are complaining of this issue are all using devices managed by airwatch.
The underlying issue is that when the app is shutdown, after a very short period of time (say about 5 minutes), when the device is locked, the Application_Home/Library/Caches directory gets cleared out. This seems to have a number of bad side effects:
- files that were downloaded from the server are having to be downloaded again (everytime), thus defeating the purpose of using the cache
- offline access of the app is impossible, if the cache was deleted at the wrong time. Since it is getting cleared out so quickly, this is probably happening all the time
- probably increased data charges and bandwidth use
I don't really know anything about airwatch. Is there any way to configure this kind of behaviour in airwatch? How would I go about communicating this information to our client so that they may be able to investigate the problem?
