I’m trying to disable live update for local development, but I can’t. I launch the app through android studio on my physical phone and the app always opens the last web build (I have only one production channel).  
My capacitor.config.ts is:

```auto
...
plugins: {
    LiveUpdates: {
      appId: 'b1583d07',
      channel: 'Production',
      autoUpdateMethod: 'background',
      maxVersions: 2,
      enabled: false
    },
  }
...
I've tried everything, changing the channel name to one that doesn't exist, setting enabled to false, seemingly every permutation but I cannot disable the live update overwriting my local changes.

What's interesting is that it disables fine if I launch the app in an emulator in android studio, but not on a physical phone.

I'm on capacitor 6.

I figured it out. I needed to clear data and cache on the device. Uninstalling the app is not enough in order for local changes to show up on the device.
