Mandatory Android SDK Update for SmartechNudge

The Android SmartechNudges SDK

The Android SmartechNudges SDK uses symmetric-key encryption for obfuscation of data that is sent over HTTPS. The key that the SDK uses for encryption was statically computed which is getting flagged by Google as Unsafe Cryptographic Encryption.

To overcome this Google has recommended utilizing Jetpack Security for symmetric encryption.

From Android SmartechNudges SDK v8.7.0 version onwards the SDK is generating the encryption key using Jetpack Security for symmetric encryption and we highly recommend that you upgrade to this version.
