Does not work with SSL, only blank white screen

[tiszavolgyi]

I am using version 0.6.1. (latest), it is not working with SSL for me, I only see a blank white screen anytime I am trying to launch the HA (or any website) with SSL. I tried on different devices with the same result. First I tried with self signed SSL than I read maybe the Android webview has issues with Self signed SSL, so I bought an SSL certificate, but the result is the same.

Maybe the solution can be found on this link: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7416096/android-webview-not-loading-an-https-url

and only these lines have to be inserted:

 @Override
public void onReceivedSslError(WebView view, SslErrorHandler handler, SslError error) {
    handler.proceed(); // Ignore SSL certificate errors
}

Same was with me, i manually selected Android WebView engine fixed the problem.

I use a self signed certificate. Not working :( I think @tisavolgyi mentioned the right solution? Can't we add an toggle to switch off SSL verfication?

Thx, Michael

Planning for that SSL change to be in the next update, yes!

SSL errors ignored currently in https://github.com/WallPanel-Project/wallpanel-android/commit/4307376e01aed12b7c98f0aef6ef32fc6327cbb5

At this time, it only works in the Native WebView, as the CrossWalk devs seem to have mucked up the exception before the project was abandoned.

@quadportnick could we make a new release? I'm unable to use the app without this commit...

Yes I do plan on a test build shortly. Out of curiosity do you know which certificate aspect is the issue in your case, is it just the self-signed or also maybe common name? I will definitely need to make some changes to get in the Play store to how its handled right now or it will be rejected.

I think it's because it is self signed. Haven't you tried a self signed certificate yourself? Did you only try http ?

[quadportnick]

Oh it’s definitely https/Certificate errors we are dealing with here. It’s just the example code to do so is such a broad stroke, apparently Google Play’s code analyzer will just reject it for the gaping security hole. It wouldn’t hold up the short term but there will probably have to be a toggle and some other logic in there to avoid the beatdown (eg, you will have to opt in).
