Iff you have root access, why not update file permissions to allow group read access to the file in question? i.e.

• Create a new group if needed e.g. SQLLiteGroup
• Update group ownership of SQLLite db file to SQLLiteGroup
• Set file permissions for group read for SQLLite db file
• App2 add user to group SQLLiteGroup

App2 user should now have read access to file, FileObserver will work.

FYI symbolic links mirror (i.e. respect) the permissions of the file that is being pointed to.
