file is not a database after upgrading to 1.7 version

[codrinamerigo]

I am working on a Xamarin.Forms app which was using the 1.6 version.

After upgrading the package to the 1.7 version and upgrading the app (via appcenter or official stores) we are not able to read the database and have a 'file is not a db' error.

we downgrading to 1.6 to make the app update read the old version...

Hi @codrinamerigo sorry for the trouble.

Can you confirm that you're passing in the encryption key to the database in the constructor? Are you using the synchronous connection or the async?

[codrinamerigo]

Hi @praeclarum yes we are passing th key

SQLiteConnectionString stringConn = new SQLiteConnectionString(path, false, _keyEnc);
SQLiteConnection conn = new SQLiteConnection(stringConn);

@codrinamerigo when you updated you moved from SQLCipher 3 to SQLCipher 4. Your application will need to account for this via database migration or backward compatibility settings.
