I figure it out, again, on each time, need to the Backendless.initApp

why is that? why I can’t do it one time when the application is uploaded

Hi @zeev-mindali

Please show how do you initialize the Backendless and provide the full code for update method.

I would also recommend to initialize the Backenless when app starts. Create custom class for your Android application and call Backendless.initApp inside its onCreate method.
