Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
  * Any developer using JSONStore in an application running on   *
  * Android 4.4 or higher                                        *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * The SQLCipher library in Worklight 5.0.6.x and 6.0.0.x does  *
  * not support Android 4.4 or higher, so the proper version of  *
  * SQLCipher had to be included. Also, the default  database    *
  * folder used by Android was changed, so Worklight is not able *
  * to provision the database in that folder.                    *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  * Update to the new version that contains this fix. After      *
  * that, in 6.1 or 6.0, remove the JSONStore optional feature,  *
  * build the application, then add the JSONStore feature again  *
  * and build again. You cannot skip the build after removing    *
  * the feature, otherwise the old libraries will not be         *
  * removed, and the new ones will not be replaced.              *
  ****************************************************************
  

Problem conclusion

• SQLCipher has been updated.  If you are using Worklight 6.0 or
  6.1, remove the JSONStore optional feature, build the
  application, re-add the JSONStore feature, and build the
  application again.  It is important not to skip the build step
  after removing the feature, otherwise the old libraries will not
  be removed or replaced.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for fixpack 5.0.6.2
  and fixpack 6.0.0.2.
