Current Implementation

Currently when opening the 'Validity of Certificate' screen the values under 'Check for' are pre-filled with the data the last time such a test was done. Actually this means that most of the time the pre-filled date is in the past.

Suggested Enhancement

Instead of suggesting a check date in the past the app should always pre-filled the Date and Time selector with the current date.

Expected Benefits

Does it make sense to check the validity for some time in the past? So one benefit would be to avoid errors when a certificate is validated, especially as the app gives some strange error about missing rule sets when a past date is used.

And user could more quickly validate their current vaccination status.

Thanks for reporting this issue!

This was fixed before (version 2.23) but it seems like the change was reverted later.

Here's the issue I opened back when the feature was implemented: https://github.com/corona-warn-app/cwa-app-ios/issues/3839

While the picker was changed so that the user can't select dates in the past, the "default" date isn't now but rather the last time the feature was used. Thus a check against a date in the past is still possible.

Here are two screenshots where you can see this problem.
