🐛 Hotfix Release v1.1.1

Critical Bug Fix

This hotfix addresses a critical database initialization error that prevented the app from starting on some Android devices.

What was fixed:

• Database Initialization Error: Fixed "PRAGMA journal_mode = WAL" error that occurred on certain Android devices
• Improved Compatibility: Made database initialization more resilient to device-specific SQLite limitations
• Better Error Handling: Added graceful fallbacks for PRAGMA statements that may not be supported on all devices

Technical Details:

The issue was caused by some Android devices not supporting certain SQLite PRAGMA commands, particularly journal_mode = WAL. The fix:

• Wrapped all PRAGMA statements in try-catch blocks
• Added a fallback mechanism to retry database initialization without PRAGMA statements if needed
• Made the app continue working even if performance optimizations can't be applied
