Currently I am having an issue, where users had JIT version of the app. Now I have released an AOT version, but when people update their app, it immediately crashes:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to create application com.tns.NativeScriptApplication: com.tns.NativeScriptException: 
Error calling module function 
Error: com.tns.NativeScriptException: Failed to find module: "ui/frame/activity", relative to: app/tns_modules/

It is because AOT does not have tns_modules folder there by idea. If one clears its app data, the app works fine. I guess the app is storing some sort of startup code in app data. Is there a way to programmatically or in some preferences specify, for an app to clear app data?

There is something like this: PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(context).edit().clear().apply();
But where do I put it in my code? The app crashes at startup screen, without getting to the first component.
