Edit: Android Version 7.0, Security patch level June 5, 2017.

I have an app that is working just fine on several devices, B4X/i/and J.
However HttpJob is failing in all cases on one old, tired, cheap Insignia tablet.
The job is connecting to a MySQL DB via a PHP file on a cloud server
The error message is the title.
If there is a simple fix, great, if it is a precursor to potential problems on current devices then I guess I really need to fix the problem.
Otherwise I will just let it go.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Who issued the SSL Certificate that is used? Make sure the old device has a valid certificate chain to validate the SSL certificate you are using.

I don't know what that means or how I would go about doing that. It's a Best Buy Insignia brand android tablet. I have had any number of tablets and never had to deal with that.
I just Googled it. I have no password on the tablet. That might be the issue. I'll try that tomorrow.

Also, I had changed the time zone. The tablet was purchased and set up in PST. I had changed it to Taiwan as that is where I am now so I switched it back to PST but I still get the same error.

Do you use SSL in the server?
Please don’t post the partial error message as the title.
Post the complete error log in the post content.
