Hi @Bhagyashree_Patil,

Are you using ProGuard within your application? If so, would you disable it, rebuild, and test on the affected devices?

3

Even after disabling proguard it is not working

Hi @Bhagyashree_Patil,

Would you use apktool to inspect your compiled package and verify whether libsqlcipher.so is being properly bundled within your build for all target platforms?

5

Is this still an issue? I am about to migrate from android sqlcipher legacy (which is causing a crash on some devices) to 4.5.3. I don’t want to jump out of the frying pan and into the fire…

Hi @Redrazors,

We are not aware of any issues with either the legacy or current sqlcipher-android library regarding device limitations as mentioned above. The error reported above is typically due to some level of post-processing of a build, often times ProGuard is the cause. Please let us know if you run into any issues.
