New Intel XDK Errors

After Intel XDK updated to the latest version (the one with all the Cordova related menus), now all my apps inexplicably request the SMS permission even though I never checked off anything related to SMS. Also, it won't install as an update to anything made with an older version of Intel XDK. Maybe it's because the apk has a different naming system. And yet somehow, it managed to retain the bug that cuts off playing audio after a few seconds.

What should be done to ensure compatability with previous versions of apps built by older version of Intel XDK and how do I get rid of the SMS permission?

Zygorithm did you open your old project or make a new one? it asks for SMS when you add the Media or Device plugins i dont remember which. Also nothing changed compatibility wise if you cant install over your old apk you made a mistake somewhere. Most likly you changed your App ID or you are build using a different build system i.e Crosswalk instead of Android and vise versa. (sounds like your using Android because of the sound bug )

volkiller730 I opened my old project, and XDK said it would upgrade the project to the new version. I made sure both the App ID and the package name were the same (SAOVR and com.zygorithm.saovr) and I used Crosswalk for both of them. And yet, it tells me "the app was not installed" unless I uninstall and install the new version from scratch.

I'd suggest reporting such issues to Intel.
