after spending days figuring out why my APK after reinstalling keep using an old value instead of the assigned one....

i have to thank @RaL for this fix

so it happens ONLY after i plug my phone to my laptop to directly transfer the APK

before, i was using onedrive to upload from my PC and download it to my phone and this problem never occured.

so basically i just copied the android manifest from the unity installation folder to my project/assets/plugins/android/

edit it with notepad++

and add the following, under application:
android:allowBackup="false"
android:fullBackupContent="false"

and now my game works as intended.

this auto backup might be a good idea for users, but for me, when im trying to review an updated APK is a horror to find the value different from the editor.

Thank you! Here's the solution in a little more detail! Go to Project Settings/Player/Publishing Settings.
