Re: [Development] How clear cache and cookies of WebApp? (Gmail WebApp)

 

Fantastic!

Clearing the cache worked, thank you.

Maybe this "feature" should be accessible via the UI (of the System
Settings or each WebApp generically) somehow in future. Alternatively, the
cache and cookies could be deleted each time a WebApp is uninstalled.

Cheers, Peter
