Closed shikaya closed 6 years ago

shikaya commented 6 years ago

Hey great App you created! Since a month now I cant properly use it sadly since im always getting an Exception. I read about the tip with the Load App Keystore in the Forums and tried it , currently it is working ... what are the drawbacks of it? And also could be the reason for it my Android version 4.2.2? I read that this Version didnt have Keystores yet.

Hiya,

You got the Security Exception because the Root Certificate in your phone is missing/not updated by the vendor, so when the application tried to validate the SSL Certificate path, it will failed due to no root certificate to check.

By using App Keystore, the application will use the embedded root certificate to validate the SSL certification path.

The drawback, if for whatever reason BakaTsuki choose to change the SSL Certificate again (e.g. moving server), then I need to publish new release with the update certificate.

Consider changing your phone or try to install custom rom with latest android version/security patch.

so I am having this same issue since and I can't afford a new phone atm(my phone is only about a year and a half old so I'm not sure why this is a problem) so I was wondering about what you mean by loading app keystore, is that an app I can download?

Nandaka commented 6 years ago

In the apps, go to Settings -> Update and Notification -> Load App Keystore is tick/enabled.

Ensure you are using the latest version (as per current is 1.1.50).

Another option is maybe you want to look for custom ROM is xda-developer website? At least that what I do to upgrade my galaxy s4 to android 7.x before I get a new phone.

Hi. Respect to version, google play store only show the 1.1.46 version...

Nandaka commented 6 years ago

I assume you are using older android version?

Android below version 3 is not supported anymore.

ghost commented 6 years ago

Using Android 7.1.2. Here is a screenshot for the google play store. screenshot from 2018-01-17 14-40-08

Or the version 1.1.50 has another name than BakaReader EX ?

Nandaka commented 6 years ago

Updated the rollout %, it should show only 1.1.50 now, or else you can get the apk from https://github.com/calvinaquino/LNReader-Android/releases
