I get a SQLCipher error while running an app

Question

I'm using sqlcipher in my dependencies. My build.gradle file is as given below:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion rootProject.ext.compileSdkVersion
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.dell.prapproval"

So when I run my code in a mobile, I get below error:

I've even added ndk support code to build.gradle, but that error is still coming. How can I fix it?

Answer 1

I assume you're obfuscating app. Did you apply proguard configuration from SQLChipher?

Unfortunately, they build it as aar library but don't include proguard configuration to it.
