Changes
Apps: Fixed an issue where older local/cloud app backups were not deleted even when multiple backups strategy is set to 'Single backup'

v5.0.0_Beta4

WARNING
After upgrading to Swift Backup v5, don't use older versions because:
- v5 updates the backup storage format, which isn't compatible with previous versions.
- Older versions will delete cloud backups made with v5 by mistake.

Changed 'Conditional new backup' strategy behaviour for multiple app backups
- In the previous v5 betas, it skipped backup of an app entirely if the selected condition for creating new backup is not met. Now, it updates the latest backup if the condition is not met and creates new backup when condition is met.

- For example, if the selected condition is 'APK changes' and during backup if the backed up APK hasn't changed, it will still continue to update data parts of the backup. In case the APK has changed, it will continue to create a new backup.

Important
After upgrading to Swift Backup v5, don't use older versions because:
- v5 updates the backup storage format, which isn't compatible with previous versions.
- Older versions will delete cloud backups made with v5 by mistake.
