How to import updated version of APEX app without losing saved IR's?

Question

Oracle XE 11.2
Apex 4.1
Linux Red Hat 5.4
============
Does anyone have suggestions on how to import updated version of APEX app without losing saved IR's?
Also, I want to maintain app id from update to update (from revision to revision). In fact, I think that that is required in order to keep the saved IR's.
The only process I have found that seems to "work" (i.e. loads new revision of app over old revision of app) is the following (via SQL*Plus):
declare
l_workspace_id number;
begin
select workspace_id into l_workspace_id
from apex_workspaces
where workspace = 'MYWORKSPACE';
apex_application_install.set_application_id(400);
apex_application_install.set_workspace_id(l_workspace_id);
apex_application_install.generate_offset;
apex_application_install.set_schema('MYSCHEMA' );
apex_application_install.set_application_alias( 'MYSCHEMA_ALIAS' );
end;
@new_version_of_app.sql;
but I do not have any saved reports in this app. Will this process keep the saved IR's from the previous version of the app 'intact'?
Thanks.

Hi,
I cope with the same issue.
But I've several prod instances and many applications on each of these... and SIR saved by many users.
Of course each prod application have its own ID, distinct from the dev application ID.
Is there really not any kind of solution in my case (apart from release the dev app on the dev workspace ; export 50 apps from it and import those 50 times, maybe more in the futur) ?
I'd be a pity if not, I think there must be a lot of us working in that configuration.
Thanks !
