Cipher decryption data is with a wrong padding (BadPaddingException) about ksprefs HOT 4 CLOSED

Very nice question.
Can't wrap my head around it, would you be so kind to provide more detail about:

• Android version
• Device manifacture
• Target App SDK version
• App signature (Production signed or debug)

Also, you noticed this error with a specific pattern or it appears to show up randomly?

I was having this same error some time ago but I could not find a fix, specifically, because it was subtle.
Sometimes my app would randomly crash because of this exception being thrown out of nowhere.

Then I made a sample app that just pushed and pulled garbage values to and from the preferences but it just worked fine, and after something like 100'000 I/O operations I gave up on this.

It has to do with openssl decryption algorithm and padding.
That's what we have by now, I'll do some research.

This could be useful

In v2 the issue will not be present because of the different approach we will take towards encryption and encoding system
