Issue #, if available: #2548
Description of changes: This is a rare crash that can occur in the Google Tink + EncryptedSharedPreferences library. In order for Amplify to function properly, we rely on EncryptedSharedPreferences to securely hold data. This issue can be found in the Google IssueTracker here: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/176215143
If the master key becomes unreadable or corrupt the only path forward is to delete and recreate the preferences. This is a destructive action.
