Mystical relationship between origin and cloned App

Anvil Q&A
1

What I’m trying to do:

Clone one of my app and make some changes based on it to build another app.

What I’ve tried and what’s not working:

  1. I cloned the app by clicking the share link, and I got the cloned app. But I find the cloned app has the access to data tables of the origin app (or the cloned app has its own copy?)
  2. The cloned app can still call the server functions of the origin app even though they have different uplink secret strings.
  3. I can add new components to the cloned app, but all the functions related to the new components do not work.

Has anyone have the same issue?

It’s the latter. See Security Notes.

Many thanks! Haven’t read that note
