Yet, these certificates still are being reported as "valid" by the app. This is not desirable, obviously.
I have noticed that the current version is from December 23rd last year and I thus believe that the rules are hard-coded in the app? If this is the case, is there any intent to speed up the release cycle? (Rules tend to change quite rapidly in Austria...)
Aside from privacy concerns (of which there shouldn't be that many because only the CBOR files would be downloaded), wouldn't that be a very simple fix for the stale rule data problem?
(Please note that I installed the APK directly from the website and as I do not have access to Google Play, I cannot verify whether this behaviour is specific to the APK version; it would be bad enough, however.)
Using the current version of the app, 1.2.2, I have noticed that the (Austrian/Viennese) rules for validating all certificates are well out of date.

I have used the Swiss Validation App for a long time and thus suggest an alternative scheme of keeping the rulesets up to date: How about fetching them from an online source (like, once every 7 days)? Also, the Austrian Ministry of Health publishes the rulesets as CBOR files, as specified here: https://github.com/Federal-Ministry-of-Health-AT/green-pass-overview#details-on-trust-listsbusiness-rulesvalue-sets
