Android 12 - Room db encryption issue

Getting this error on Android 12 only when trying to access the Dao for the first time in the app. Works perfectly fine in Android versions below.

AppModule:

    @Provides
    @Singleton
    fun provideApplication(): MyApplication = app

    @Provides
    @Singleton
    fun providePMDatabase(app: MyApplication): MyAppDatabase {
        val editable = SpannableStringBuilder(generateSymmetricKey("mykey").toString())
        val factory = SafeHelperFactory.fromUser(editable)
        return Room
                .databaseBuilder(app, MyAppDatabase::class.java, BuildConfig.DATABASE_NAME)
                .openHelperFactory(factory)
                .fallbackToDestructiveMigration()
                .build()
    }

    @Provides
    @Singleton
    fun provideSettingsDao(database: MyAppDatabase): SettingsDao = database.settingsDao()


    private fun generateSymmetricKey(keyAlias: String): Key {

        val keyStore = KeyStore.getInstance("AndroidKeyStore")
        keyStore.load(null)
        if (!keyStore.containsAlias(keyAlias)) {
            val keyGenerator = KeyGenerator.getInstance(KeyProperties.KEY_ALGORITHM_AES, "AndroidKeyStore")
            val keyGenParameterSpec =
                    KeyGenParameterSpec.Builder(
                            keyAlias,
                            KeyProperties.PURPOSE_ENCRYPT or KeyProperties.PURPOSE_DECRYPT)
                            .setBlockModes(KeyProperties.BLOCK_MODE_CBC)
                       .setEncryptionPaddings(KeyProperties.ENCRYPTION_PADDING_PKCS7)
                            .build()
            keyGenerator.init(keyGenParameterSpec)
            return keyGenerator.generateKey()
        }
        return keyStore.getKey(keyAlias, null)
    }

Room dependencies

//Room

Error says: file is not a database: , while compiling: select count(*) from sqlite_master; The detailed log is as below:

UPDATE 1:

Issue is definitely with the encryption using com.commonsware.cwac.saferoom (which is not maintained anymore, so can't blame the library)

I changed it to use

    implementation 'net.zetetic:android-database-sqlcipher:4.5.0@aar'
    implementation "androidx.sqlite:sqlite-ktx:2.1.0"

and the code to

val editable = SpannableStringBuilder(generateSymmetricKey("mykey").toString())
// val factory = SafeHelperFactory.fromUser(editable)
val passphrase: ByteArray = SQLiteDatabase.getBytes(editable.toString().toCharArray())
val factory = SupportFactory(passphrase, null, false)

Application runs the first time. After that I get the error again.

NOTE If I comment out setting the factory i.e. Room.openHelperFactory(factory), application works fine.
