App is killed when using this sqlcipher 4.* lib on Android 5.0.2 and Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 (MSM8916)

[kuFEAR]

Expected Behavior

Works well.

Actual Behavior

I don't see any logs in logcat with crash, but app is unexpected silently quit when called net.sqlcipher.database.SQLiteDatabase#loadLibs(android.content.Context, java.io.File) when were loading native library "sqlciphet.so"

Steps to Reproduce

Create a simple App with androidx.Room and com.commonsware.cwac:saferoom.x:1.0.0 or up to 1.2.0
and configure it like this:

Room.databaseBuilder(context, SecureDatabase::class.java, "mydb")
        .openHelperFactory(SafeHelperFactory("myPassCode".toCharArray()))
        .build()

It crashes only on Android 5.0.2 and Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 (MSM8916) devices (Lenovo s90-a, Asus ZenFone 2 Lazer, and other with the same configuration)

SQLCipher version:
4.2.0

I've faced with the same issue and checked it using the android test suite. The same crash happens there (https://github.com/sqlcipher/sqlcipher/issues/341)

Ping, 4.. update also significantly degrade performance on those devices

I tested the SafeRoom test suite on a Wileyfox Swift, which has that CPU, and the tests passed. However, the Swift is running 6.0.1, not 5.0.2.

FWIW, this page lists a hundred or so device models with that CPU. Personally, I do not appear to have a device (among the ~60 that I own) with that CPU that runs Android 5.x, let alone specifically 5.0.2.

Android version (should be 5.0.2) is important in this case.

Hello, @commonsguy do you have any updates? If you need any additional information about the way how to reproduce please let us know.

As I indicated, I do not have a device with that very specific OS version and CPU match.

This ticket is basically a duplicate of #469, and there Zetetic indicated that they were working on acquiring test hardware.
