Description

There are a number of apps out there that rely on localstorage to store session / user data. We really need a way to transfer this data to the wkwebview-engine so existing users are not left out in the cold.

Crosswalk handles this process automatically by migrating that data to the new browser when the plugin is installed and first run on an existing user's device. It would be really, really awesome if this plugin handled this issue the same way.
