[Linux] EncryptedLocalStore doesn't work under sudo

[itlancer]

Problem Description

EncryptedLocalStore doesn't work with Linux devices if AIR application runs under sudo. It just throw exception when you try to use it. Tested with latest multiple AIR versions even with latest AIR 50.0.0.3 with multiple Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS and Ubuntu 16.04.7 LTS (VM and real devices).

It works fine with other platfroms (Windows, macOS, Android, iOS). Also it works fine if AIR application launched without root privileges. EncryptedLocalStore.isSupported always returns true in all these cases.
