Description

Hello

After I update my phonegap app containing values and dates in both localStorage and SQLite database on iOS 5.1
-> Call to window.openDatabase fails with "SECURITY_ERR: DOM Exception 18"
-> Call to localStorage.setItem fails silently

How to Reproduce:
In a UIWebView, create a new DB or use localStorage from phonegap API
Overwrite / update your app and open the same database or write to localStorage

Expected Results:
We should see the data from the database and localStorage.

Actual Results:
Call to window.openDatabase fails with "SECURITY_ERR: DOM Exception 18"
Call to localStorage.setItem fails silently
