Updated js files not working while creating the apk

Capacitor

Hi,

I am working on a capacitor app but when I create the Android build, it is not showing the updated change. I can see the updated code when I go to android/app/src/main/assets and find the file related to the angular page. it still uses the old code.

The file is updated if I go to android/app/src/main/assets and find the file related to the angular page. The filename comes as 3324.feb16782aa5997d9.js then I create the build. When I go to the Chrome dev tools to see the file for that page, it is 3324.aa0d60f878d6ef11.js (An old js file related to the angular page). The UI is still old and has the same functionality.

Then I checked all the other files and they were old too.

I tried cleaning the Android studio but it didn’t work. I created an empty project, added the Android platform, and copied the asset files from my initial project and even then it took the old files.

Capacitor/Android 5.7.7
Capacitor/app 5.0.7
Capacitor/core 5.7.0
Capacitor/cli 5.7.0

That’s odd! When you are checking Chrome Dev Tools, are you running your app on a physical device or the emulator? Maybe try uninstalling the app on the device and re-installing (by running it in Android Studio).
