Changes not reflected in Android companion app.

[nerlins]

I successfully have your plug-in set up and working properly. I made all the changes I wanted to see on my admin sidebar and then for different users. It works great. When I logged into my companion app on Android this morning, I noticed none of the sidebar changes were there. Everything looks fairly default. Is there something I'm missing?? I cleared the app cache; force quit it and all that.

Okay, apparently you can rearrange the sidebar in the companion app. I don't know why I've never actually noticed that. So, maybe your plugin only works for web browser view? If you could just clarify, that'd be great. Thank you.

Hi @nerlins,
It works perfectly on the Companion App but unfortunately it has a strong caching system (clearing the App cache doesn't invalidate the WebView cache).

Unfortunately there is no native way to clean it as on iOS, you would need to log out and login again (something that nobody wants to do) or follow these steps
Regards

Oh, okay. No worries then. I will apply your method you have linked. I appreciate the feedback!

Let me know if it doesn't solve your issue.

Hi @nerlins,
Were you able to clean the WebView cache?

Well work/life for the past two days has been a blur, but tomorrow I am going to try it again. Today I have a lot of outside work around the house. I definitely will update you, because I feel like this process will be necessary for the various devices/users in the HA system.
