Description
**Package**: [flutter_cache_manager]
**Platform**: iOS
**Error**: `DatabaseException(Error Domain=SqfliteDarwinDatabase Code=14 "unable to open database file")`
---
### 🔍 Description
While using the package, I occasionally encounter the following error on iOS:
```
#0 wrapDatabaseException (package:sqflite_platform_interface/src/platform_exception.dart:12)
#1 SqfliteDatabaseMixinExt._txnRawUpdateOrDelete. (package:sqflite_common/src/database_mixin.dart:318)
#2 BasicLock.synchronized (package:synchronized/src/basic_lock.dart:36)
#3 SqfliteDatabaseMixin.txnSynchronized (package:sqflite_common/src/database_mixin.dart:517)
```
This seems to happen when the cache manager tries to update or insert entries in the database. It appears that the database file is either not found or not accessible at runtime.

### ✅ What I’ve Tried
- Verified that I'm not deleting or moving the database file manually.
- Tried using `CacheManager` with a custom config and custom database name.
- Happens mostly in production or TestFlight builds — not consistently reproducible in debug mode.
