InvalidProtocolBufferException

[aggeloskoutanis]

Describe the bug
We have been using this package for years, but we recently started receiving this error on some Android devices.

To Reproduce
I am not sure how to reproduce this.

Expected behavior
Users should not get an error.

Screenshots
Here is the error log:

androidx.datastore.preferences.protobuf.InvalidProtocolBufferException: Protocol message contained an invalid tag (zero)., Stacktrace: androidx.datastore.core.CorruptionException: Unable to parse preferences proto

It seems like the problem comes from -> conditions.dart in MinimumDaysCondition.readFromPreferences at line 73 within rate_my_app

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

• Device: Xiaomi Poco C65 (2310FPCA4G)
• OS: Android 15

Same issue for me, version 2.2.0

The issue might be related with the androidx.datastore:datastore plugin.

rate_my_app is using the version 1.1.3 and it has issues: https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/datastore.

As a workaround I'm forcing the resolution to 1.1.7 in my gradle config:

configurations.all { resolutionStrategy { force 'androidx.datastore:datastore-preferences:1.1.7' } }

I'll keep you informed if it fixes the crashes.

If the issue is related to androidx.datastore:datastore, then we cannot do anything here as we depend on shared_preferences.
