In order to use this, you have to exclude the Native Biometric shared preferences file from backups: In <manifest ...>
<application
...
android:fullBackupContent="@xml/backup_rules">
</application>
</manifest>
<full-backup-content>
<include domain="sharedpref" path="."/>
<exclude domain="sharedpref" path="NativeBiometricSharedPreferences"/>
</full-backup-content> |

Refactored Android support to use EncryptedSharedPreferences. This eliminates unnecessary encryption code and resolves crashes we saw on several Android 12 and 13 devices.
More info about EncryptedSharedPreferences: https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/security/crypto/EncryptedSharedPreferences. Note the example uses
https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/security1.0, not 1.1 alpha (which is used for the code example on this page.)This has been tested on several real devices using Android 10-13.
