Fix exclude clipboard history from Android backup and device transfer - #696
Merged
Conversation
android:allowBackup was set with no dataExtractionRules or fullBackupContent, so the Room database backing clipboard history was swept into Android Auto Backup and device-to-device transfer. Add backup_rules.xml (API 26-30) and data_extraction_rules.xml (API 31+, covering both cloud-backup and device-transfer) excluding scribe_clipboard_db and its -journal/-shm/-wal sidecars, and wire both into the manifest. Closes scribe-org#695 Signed-off-by: Owm <owmdubey163@gmail.com>
