Google Play Release v5.0.3

Cloud: Fixed a Google Drive related issue where Swift Backup's folder was re-created even when it existed.

Users affected with this issue may not be able to see their previous Messages/Call Logs/Wallpaper backups in the app. App backups are not impacted.

Though this bug is now fixed with v5.0.3, if you are impacted, the solution is to
1. Disconnect Google Drive in SB.
2. Move the Messages/Call Logs/Wallpaper backup files to one of the Swift Backup folders on your Google Drive (same account).
3. Delete the other duplicate folders and also remove them from Trash.
4. Reconnect Google Drive in SB.

My apologies to the affected users. Please reach out by email to [email protected] if you need help regarding this.

Thanks @NuIIie

v5.0.0_Beta4

WARNING
After upgrading to Swift Backup v5, don't use older versions because:
- v5 updates the backup storage format, which isn't compatible with previous versions.
- Older versions will delete cloud backups made with v5 by mistake.

Changed 'Conditional new backup' strategy behaviour for multiple app backups
- In the previous v5 betas, it skipped backup of an app entirely if the selected condition for creating new backup is not met. Now, it updates the latest backup if the condition is not met and creates new backup when condition is met.

- For example, if the selected condition is 'APK changes' and during backup if the backed up APK hasn't changed, it will still continue to update data parts of the backup. In case the APK has changed, it will continue to create a new backup.
