@praveenathuru, thank you for the report. Is it full stacktrace? Are there more causes?

[parveen-sharma-huru]

Not sure just got this one today as I launched my app after 24 hours on Android 9. I'm maintaining 2 different Data Stores variants in the application one for User and one for App level configuration. This is how I'm maintaining data stores.

annotation class AppDataStore

@Retention(AnnotationRetention.BINARY)

    @UserDataStore
    fun provideUserDataPreference(@ApplicationContext context: Context): DataStore<Preferences> {
        return context.getDataStore(fileName = "user_data.preferences_pb")
    }

    @AppDataStore
    fun provideAppDataPreference(@ApplicationContext context: Context): DataStore<Preferences> {

        return PreferenceDataStoreFactory.createEncrypted {
            EncryptedFile.Builder(
                dataStoreFile(fileName = fileName),
                this,
                MasterKeys.getOrCreate(MasterKeys.AES256_GCM_SPEC),
                EncryptedFile.FileEncryptionScheme.AES256_GCM_HKDF_4KB

There are many reasons why the library can't decrypt master key, but firstly I'd suggest updating tink (the cryptographic library used under the hood) to the latest version:

dependencies {
    implementation("com.google.crypto.tink:tink-android:1.12.0")
}

If it does not help, look at this issue: https://github.com/tink-crypto/tink/issues/535 (especially this comment and this one) Similar issue in Google's issuetracker: b/176215143

[parveen-sharma-huru]

@osipxd any luck with this crash? we are facing crashes heavily in the production because of this. Any workaround you suggest? Did you updated the tink under the hood in this library?

[osipxd]

@praveenathuru, yes, I've updated Tink to the latest version in v1.0.0. Do you have fresh stack traces with an updated version?

[parveen-sharma-huru]

@osipxd We are using 1.0.0-beta01 version since long, now planning to upgrade it to v1.0.0. Hope v1.1.1-beta03 is not required at this point of time.

[osipxd]

Hope v1.1.1-beta03 is not required at this point of time.

It is required only if you want to use datastore 1.1.0.

[osipxd]

@praveenathuru, have you had a chance to check if the problem persists on the new version?

[itamarb-ramm]

@osipxd I'm having the same crash but only on a galaxy a35 so far. Using version 1.1.1-beta03.

[osipxd]

@osipxd I'm having the same crash but only on a galaxy a35 so far. Using version 1.1.1-beta03.

Could you tell me what versions of Android are affected?

[itamarb-ramm]

Android 14. Seems to run fine on A53 also with Android 14.

[itamarb-ramm]

Sorry @osipxd. It seems I am having a different issue:
