OutSystems Secure SQLite Plugin

⚠️ This plugin is SUPPORTED by OutSystems. Customers entitled to Support Services may obtain assistance through Support.

Cordova meta-plugin that bundles requirements for secure SQLite device storage and initialization code for easy usage within OutSystems Platform native mobile apps.

Supported Platforms

  • iOS
  • Android

Installation

cordova plugin add https://github.com/OutSystems/cordova-outsystems-secure-sqlite-bundle.git

Usage

The API is essentially unchanged from the bundled Cordova SQLCipher Adapter, but the encryption key creation and usage is completely managed by this plugin using SecureStorage.

var options = { 
  name: 'sample.db',
  location: 'default',
  key: 'secure-encryption-key' /* not used, will be overriden by this plugin */
};
window.sqlitePlugin.openDatabase(options, successCallback, errorCallback);

Refer to the Cordova SQLCipher Adapter plugin documentation for samples and details of the supported features.

Known Issues

  • The usage of the SecureStorage plugin requires Android devices to have a PIN (or similar) set. Removal of the PIN will effectively render the database unreadable, as the key will be lost.
  • It is not possible to open existing databases that are not encrypted.
    • Workaround: either delete them prior to calling openDatabase or use a different database name.
