Help/Support Confusion about overwriting data for app

[Netherect 6 iPhone Xr 13.2.2]

Hello IOSGods community, 

So I am using an Iphone XR but I use the website to download most of the modded apps that I have. Now for example one of the main apps that I use is NBA 2k19, and it only saves data locally so whenever my certificate expires or the app gets rejected I have to restart all over and lose all of the data. So my question is this, I know that it is possible to overwrite that apps data as it says in the Cydia Impactor FAQ, 

"Q: Can I overwrite my current app without removing it?
A: Yes, it is possible. In order to accomplish this, you need to sideload the modded IPA with the same Apple ID that your previously sideloaded app is with. Meaning you must use the same Apple ID you used to sideload the previous app. The bundle ID must be the same otherwise it will install as a duplicate app."

But I am confused on how to actually do that to ensure that the original data saves and the new download does not just delete it all and have the same result as when the certificate/app gets rejected. So if somebody could provide a tutorial on how to properly do this so the data saves and transfers over to the new app it would be very much appreciated.

Hello,

So for Cydia Impactor and every other type of certificates, the only way to overwrite your app without losing anything is to sideload/install using the same Apple ID or Certificate. Considering certificates constantly get revoked, the Cydia Impactor and Apple ID way is the safest method to overwrite without losing progress. But you would need to re-do it every 7 days.

Just use the same Apple ID every time you sideload, and it will overwrite the old app which also used the same Apple ID.

Ok so I would just sideload the same modded app using the same apple id and the data should just transfer over? And another question i have is would it be a smart idea to repeat this method say every 5 days just for safe measures to ensure that I keep the data consistent before my cydia certificate expires?
