UWP. Is changing .appxmanifest triggers local app data to be removed?

I want to update my application declarations (add some new) in .appxmanifest file. Also, my application has sensible data in LocalState folder, so it cannot be lost.

The question is if I add these declarations (change .appxmanifest file) will it trigger the application reinstall and as a result data loss in LocalState folder?

I found in documentation and Q&A that changes to AppManifest can trigger app reinstall but there are no details which changes exactly will bring me to this situation.

If you change this file locally and then rebuild the project the app will be reinstalled when debugging.

Changes like these won't cause a reinstall when updates are distributed through the store.
