# Common issues

When you are installing APS you can encounter some issues based on your setup, the most common of them are given below with their fixes.

## OpenKeychain failed to launch

Many OEMs create excessive limitations on background apps to "improve" battery life by breaking normal functionality, the workarounds for those are described [here](./background-killing-bugs.md).

# "Error reading input data" [#2653](https://github.com/android-password-store/android-password-store/issues/2653), [#2179](https://github.com/android-password-store/android-password-store/issues/2179)

OpenKeychain doesn't support AEAD encryption (default in gpg 2.3+). Dropping the OCB option from the key's preference string fixes the issue
13+
14+
```plaintext
15+
$ gpg --edit-key <key-id>
16+
17+
gpg> showpref
18+
[ultimate] (1).name <email>
19+
Cipher: AES256, AES192, AES, 3DES
20+
AEAD: OCB
21+
Digest: SHA512, SHA384, SHA256, SHA224, SHA1
22+
Compression: ZLIB, BZIP2, ZIP, Uncompressed
23+
Features: MDC, AEAD, Keyserver no-modify
24+
gpg> setpref AES256 AES192 AES 3DES SHA512 SHA384 SHA256 SHA224 SHA1 ZLIB BZIP2 ZIP

Really update the preferences? (y/N) y

gpg> save

$ pass init <key-id>

## "No encrypted data with known key found in stream with newer gopass secrets" [#1530](https://github.com/android-password-store/android-password-store/issues/1530), [#173](https://github.com/android-password-store/android-password-store/issues/173)
33+
34+
This issue caused by option "throw-keyids" which isn't supported by OpenKeychain. To resolve this, you can disable it in two ways:
35+
1. Reinit your password storage by command with disabling option "throw-keyids" `PASSWORD_STORE_GPG_OPTS="--no-throw-keyids" pass init $KEYID`
36+
2. Edit your gpg config and set `--no-throw-keyids` in it.
