DatabaseException "out of memory" when opening encrypted DB on versions > 2.2.1

[VelaryonCorlys]

I’m encountering a crash when opening an encrypted database using sqflite_sqlcipher on versions above 2.2.1. The same code works fine on 2.2.1, but fails consistently on newer versions.

Code Snippet:
Future _open(String databasePath, String key) async {
try {
if (key.isEmpty) {
return await openDatabase(databasePath, version: 1);
} else {
return await openDatabase(databasePath, password: key, version: 1);
}
} catch (e) {
print(
"Error opening database normally: $e. Retrying with cipher compatibility...");

return await openDatabase(
  databasePath,
  password: key,
  version: 1,
  onConfigure: (db) async {
    await db.execute('PRAGMA cipher_compatibility = 3;');
  },
);

}
}

Observations
Works fine on sqflite_sqlcipher 2.2.1
Fails on all versions above 2.2.1
database is encrypted using SQLCipher 3
