SQLCipher "file is not a database" Error After Updating iOS App

Question

I'm encountering an issue with SQLCipher in my iOS app after updating to a new version, which involves different workspaces of my app. The app uses SQLCipher(version: 3.1) to manage an encrypted SQLite database.The previous version (workspace2) had SQLCipher code that worked correctly. However, after updating to the new version (workspace1), I'm now receiving the error "file is not a database" when trying to access the database file.

Workspace Dependencies:

Previous Version:

• Workspace1: There is no db related code here
• Workspace2: Contains SQLCipher integration code and database operations.
• App: Dependent on Workspace1 & 2 which includes additional app logic and functionality.

New Version:

• Workspace1: Contains SQLCipher integration code and database operations.

• Workspace2: Depending on workspace1 and using few db operations.

• App: Dependent on Workspace1 & 2 which includes additional app logic and functionality.

Steps Taken:

Checked Database Path:

• Confirmed that the database file exists at the specified path in the Documents directory.

• Ensured that the path is correct and the file is not missing.

Encryption Key:

• Verified that the correct encryption key is used to open the database.

• The encryption key hasn't changed between app versions.

Database File Integrity:

• Considered the possibility of database file corruption after the update.

• Not sure how to verify or fix any potential corruption.
