localStorage key xdk_ap_startpage.... what's it used for?

[Stu_B_]

I have an small hybrid (mbl app front-end / mySQL db back-end)... I'm using the window.localstorage to verify and validate the user has 'rights' to crud with the backend.  No problem with the emulator... however, when using the Intel App Preview to check the app on iOS and Android the localstorage contains one key xdk_ap_startpage

Q: Is this detail important or can I delete it on the document.on.ready event?

Thank you for any insight.

It is probably used by the App Preview, I'll find out for sure. I wouldn't delete that. Is it interfering with your app in any way?

Thanks Swati S.
no, no interfering with my app.  I was a little surprised when using the emulator there are zero key:value pairs and then when I run the app on either the android or ios device using the App Preview there was is key:value pair (key = xdk_ap_startpage).

However, when using the Legacy version of the App Preview... at the doc.on.ready event the localstorage has zero key:value pairs.

So, it must have something to do with the most current version of the App Preview.
