hi @snitsaruk, thanks for reporting this issue. we've identified the root cause. the new storage design did not cover the case for app upgrading from a legacy build. we will release a fix asap. in the meanwhile, please keep using 1.18.1

@snitsaruk the issue is fixed in 1.19.1. please have a try and let us know if you are still experiencing issues. thanks!
