Are data save using Essential.Preferences APIs preserved after app is updated?

Hi,
Could you show me some screenshots that would help to explain what your issue is?
It is not an issue, but I want to find out about the data persistence concern before finalize the design. I try to save user preferences or selections, such language settings, dark or light theme, etc.
Found the API reference here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/essentials/preferences?tabs=ios
And it mentioned about “Uninstalling the application will cause all Preferences to be removed”, but I couldn’t find anything about the case of upgrading the app to newer version, will all the Preferences data preserve after upgrade?
Thank you
