Changes

 The key was already hard coded in code (with byte array), an alternative approach was also to hard code the decrypted key from Cipher. To do this, we need to run the class and allow the code to call the
Cipher#doFinal. This can be done in local machine where-in we are not experiencing the issue. The Cipher#doFinal method will return the byte array. From there, we can get the contents of the byte array, add it in the code and thus, we don't need to call the Cipher#doFinal since we already have the byte array. The return of this method will always be the same since the key was already hard coded.
