This tutorial works just fine with the following pieces of code.
pod 'FMDB/SQLCipher'
...
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
...
NSArray *documentPaths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentDir = [documentPaths objectAtIndex:0];
self.databasePath = [documentDir stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"gameDefault.sqlite"];
[self createAndCheckDatabase];
...
}
...
-(void) createAndCheckDatabase
{
BOOL success;
NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
success = [fileManager fileExistsAtPath:self.databasePath];
if(success) return; // If file exists, dont do anything
// if file does not exist, make a copy of the one in the Resources folder
NSString *databasePathFromApp = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath] stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"gameDefault.sqlite"]; // File path
[fileManager copyItemAtPath:databasePathFromApp toPath:self.databasePath error:nil]; // Make a copy of the file in the Documents folder
// Set the new encrypted database path to be in the Documents Folder
NSArray *documentPaths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentDir = [documentPaths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *ecDB = [documentDir stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"encrypted.sqlite"];
// SQL Query. NOTE THAT DATABASE IS THE FULL PATH NOT ONLY THE NAME
const char* sqlQ = [[NSString stringWithFormat:@"ATTACH DATABASE '%@' AS encrypted KEY 'secretKey';",ecDB] UTF8String];
sqlite3 *unencrypted_DB;
if (sqlite3_open([self.databasePath UTF8String], &unencrypted_DB) == SQLITE_OK) {
// Attach empty encrypted database to unencrypted database
sqlite3_exec(unencrypted_DB, sqlQ, NULL, NULL, NULL);
// export database
sqlite3_exec(unencrypted_DB, "SELECT sqlcipher_export('encrypted');", NULL, NULL, NULL);
// Detach encrypted database
sqlite3_exec(unencrypted_DB, "DETACH DATABASE encrypted;", NULL, NULL, NULL);
sqlite3_close(unencrypted_DB);
} else {
sqlite3_close(unencrypted_DB);
NSAssert1(NO, @"Failed to open database with message '%s'.", sqlite3_errmsg(unencrypted_DB));
}
self.databasePath = [documentDir stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"encrypted.sqlite"];
}
...
[db setKey:@"secretKey"]
...
// FMDatabase
FMDatabase *db = [FMDatabase databaseWithPath:[self getDatabasePath]];
[db open];
[db setKey:@"secretKey"];
// FMDatabaseQueue
FMDatabaseQueue *queue = [FMDatabaseQueue databaseQueueWithPath:[self getDatabasePath]];
[queue inDatabase:^(FMDatabase *db) {
[db setKey:@"secretKey"];
...
}];

When I use the same code in my other project it works fine for encrypting the existing sqlite database. But when I try to access table via sql select query I get the error, "File is encrypted or is not a database". Though, no issue with the tutorial app and I can update/insert/delete/select records there. Any clue?
