Keystore operation failed on Huawei P9Lite

[estebanlamas]

Hi,

The library works fine on almost all devices I tried, but in a Huawei P9Lite with Android 6 I receive and exception when I try to save a string:

SecuredPreferenceStore.init(this, new DefaultRecoveryHandler());
sharedPreferences = SecuredPreferenceStore.getSharedInstance();
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = sharedPreferences.edit();
editor.putString(name,value);

The exception is:

java.security.InvalidKeyException: Keystore operation failed

Thanks for reporting. Did this happen randomly or after you changed PIN/Password/Fingerprint? or does this happen every time you try to use the lib? @estebanlamas

[estebanlamas]

It happens every time I try to use the lib.
Thanks for the quick answer.

[jepoy16]

we also encounter the same. Do we have updates on this? Please advise.

Many Thanks

I can also confirm this issue on a Huawei P10 Lite running Android 7.0. Solution provided by @StuStirling on #15 (or just commenting EncryptionManager line 494 .setKeyValidityStart(start.getTime())) solved this problem.

Log extract (running version 0.5.1) :
