After building my app in iOS, I have quite a big problem. I use the following code to create my databases and secure them with a key if (sqlite3_open([writableDBPath UTF8String], &database) == SQLITE_OK) { const char*key = [keyname UTF8String]; if(sqlite3_exec(database, [[NSStrin…

@sjlombardo It works in my SQLTest project, but not in my actual project. I can’t seem to figure out why. I installed the same Podfile on my SQLTest project and they are both using the same and latest version of sqlcipher.xcodeproj - not making much sense. I have tried cleaning the project and ever…

The problem with iOS 10 and SQLite seems to be wider spread as my app (built in Xamarin, using SQLite .NET plugin) stopped working after the iOS 10 upgrade.

@Steve_Djuroska can you provide some additional Details? Is your app using SQLCipher with SQLite.NET or just the standard SQLite? What is the behavior you are seeing? Does it an existing app that is not work on iOS 10 or is it rebuilt against the latest SDK?

Hi. I’m not using SQLCipher. It’s a read only database with no sensitive data. It’s an existing app already on sale that worked fine under iOS 9.xx and earlier. Now, it stops responding on phones running 10 after firing two successful QueryAsync calls. At the 3rd call the ListView shows up empty,…

The issue I’m experiencing does not happen to existing apps running on iOS 10 that were compiled before iOS 10. Those apps still work fine, it is when I build new apps in Xcode 8 and run them on iOS 10 that I experience my issue. Even still, the apps compiled in Xcode 8 still work properly on iOS 8 …

@tcoyle Could you please try the following at your earliest convenience? Remove the previous target-level configuration mentioned above (i.e. -lsqlcipher) Open up the project build settings (i.e. the global project settings, not the target) Locate the Other Linker Flags settings and add the follow…

@sjlombardo Hey Stephen I did what you requested, build still fails but with a new error: clang: error: no such file or directory: '...../Build/Products/DebugDEV-iphoneos/libsqlcipher.a'

@tcoyle are you sure that you have SQLCipher integrated into that project using the sqlcipher.xcodeproj? In that case, there should be a libsqlcipher.a generated as part of the build process. Could you provide a full build log?

@sjlombardo yes followed to specifications. I did the same on my sample project but its working there for some reason. Without the -lsqlcipher it builds fine. I messaged you the build log.

@tcoyle I took a look at the build log. I didn’t see any evidence there that SQLCipher was actually being built. There should be a line there that reads “Build target amalgamation of project sqlcipher” if it is being compiled in. Is it possible that you removed the target dependency or link with lib…
