AIR 19-22, SecureSocket: certificate is always invalid on Android

When using SecureSocket for SSL connection, connection is established on Windows but not on Android devices: SecureCertificateStatus is "invalid" for any host, even for google.com.

In previous versions of AIR it was not an issue, and in AIR 19 openssl was updated so I believe it has something with it.

Here's the code fore reproducing the issue:

var ss:SecureSocket = new SecureSocket();

ss.addEventListener(Event.CONNECT, connect);

ss.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, ioerror);

ss.connect("google.com", 443);

function ioerror(event:IOErrorEvent):void{

     trace(event);

     trace(ss.serverCertificateStatus);

     trace("Not connected!");

}

function connect(event:Event):void{

     trace("Connected!");

}

Is there any solution to make it connectable?

Thanks for the update Chris. I'm glad it's a priority. Looking forward to a solution.

Any reply to this would be great. This is really crippling our ability to deliver apps for android over https and TLS 1.2 which is being mandated by a lot of our fortune 100 clients. Please help!

We're working on it but unfortunately it's not a trivial fix.  That said, it's a high priority item we'd like to address in one of the upcoming releases.

We just noticed this as well. Our servers are being upgraded to TLS 1.1 and 1.2 and secureSockets are needed to work with that. Like you said, it works flawlessly on ios and Windows, but not at all on Android. Did you ever find any resolution to this or a workaround?

We can confirm that we have the same issue with Air for Android. We also checked Air versions 18 and 23 and got the same error:

[trace] [IOErrorEvent type="ioError" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="Error #2031: Socket Error. URL: google.com" errorID=2031]
[trace] principalMismatch

Web and iOS versions work fine. This issue seems to be on Android only.
