        }

this is hexdump result
00%20PM

I’m getting result 21 in sqlite3_key(sqlite3dbConn, (password as NSString).utf8String, Int32(password.utf8CString.count))

and result 101 in     sqlite3_prepare(sqlite3dbConn, cipherLicense, -1, &stmt, nil);

what is the problem in this code?

Hi @laxminarayanmn

Thank you for your support of SQLCipher and for posting on the discussion forum, although I’m sorry to hear about the troubles integrating SQLCipher.

A couple of questions:

  1. Did you follow these steps when integrating SQLCipher: https://www.zetetic.net/sqlcipher/sqlcipher-binaries-ios-and-osx/ ?
  2. Can you successfully run the demo application included?

I took a quick look at the code you posted and don’t see anything that stands out as being incorrect (and running it successfully encrypted a database locally for me).

Because of this, I believe the issue may be related to an integration/project configuration problem.

If you’d prefer, because you’re a commercial license holder, we’d be happy to provide you with private support. Please write us at support@zetetic.net and we’ll be happy to assist further.

Thanks!

Hi @mmoore

I’m able run the demo application using my licence key.
also followed integration steps as suggested in https://www.zetetic.net/sqlcipher/sqlcipher-binaries-ios-and-osx/

and i’ll once again redo this process , if problem still exists i’ll contact private support.

Thanks for your help

regards
Lucky

@laxminarayanmn

You can test that SQLCipher is being correct integrated by executing PRAGMA cipher_version; and checking the column text for the version similar to the examples in the code within the integration steps page.

Cheers,
