All android stores disappeared after os upgrade, lost android apps settings and saves

I updated sailfish os to 1.1.7.28 - during the process it stopped twice with main screen error message saying to reboot.

After the first update error, I rebooted and restarted the process through the "settings -> OS updates" GUI. After the second update error, the "settings -> OS updates" GUI was already on version 1.1.7.28, so I had to execute "version --dup" to complete the update.

So far so good, I rebooted and everything seems to work, even if the default update process left ~100MB of .rpm packages into some sub-dirs of "/var/cache/zypp/packages".

Before the update I had all the three android marketplaces from jolla store installed and working, they disappeared after the update.

All the other android apps seems in place, but every time I use one of them, it behave like in the first execution after install, with demo and without saved games.

I looked into ~nemo/android_storage/Android/{data,obb} and apps directories are still there.

The questions are:

  1. Android marketplaces disappeared because of "unusual" update process ?
  2. Is there a connection between the disappearance of Marketplaces and apps settings/saved-data ?
  3. Have I lost the missing data or can I recover ?
