🐛 Bug Report: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED on Android 7.0 (Flutter)

[ronw98]

👟 Reproduction steps

I have a server with a custom domain setup. When I make any api call from a flutter app on Android 7.0 I get an CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED error. Everything works fine on higher Android versions and other platforms (web, iOS, macOS)

👍 Expected behavior

It should make the API call with the appropriate response

👎 Actual Behavior

I throws the following error
HandshakeException: Handshake error in client (OS Error: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED: certificate has expired(handshake.cc:393))

After googling it I found this SO question it seems to be a problem related to flutter and Android <7.1

A workaround exists (as stated in the SO thread) but I can't find a way to apply it to the appwrite client.

I think the flutter appwrite library should either implement the workaround or allow for a custom http client.

🎲 Appwrite version

Version 1.1.x

💻 Operating system

Linux

🧱 Your Environment

Appwrite: 1.1.1
Appwrite SDK; Flutter: 8.1.0
Only customization is a custom domain set to the server but it works fine with clients on other platforms

I assume you're using a self-hosted instance. If this instance is on your localhost or you're accessing it through your IP. If this is the case, you need to enable the option to set a self-signed certificate.

import io.appwrite.Client
import io.appwrite.services.Account

val client = Client(context)
    .setEndpoint("https://cloud.appwrite.io/v1") // Your Appwrite Endpoint
    .setProject("[PROJECT_ID]") // Your project ID
    .setSelfSigned(true) // Remove in production

While this is completely fine for development, for production, consider using a public domain for your instance that will allow Appwrite to generate a valid certificate for you.
