Certificate error in WebView

Reported by za...@pagerduty.com, Feb 10 2017

Issue description

Device name: Google Pixel XL
Operating system: Android 7.1.

URLs (if applicable): https://twitter.com/AlmightyKevin/status/830123632844222464?cn=cmVwbHk%3D&refsrc=email

Going into our PagerDuty Mobile app results in a security error since we are displaying our login screen with a WebView implementation. This has been a new error that's been introduced within the last couple months, but is not something that was around a couple months back. We have not changed our implementation.

From what I can find, this is related to the WebView/Chrome itself. See https://knowledge.rapidssl.com/support/ssl-certificate-support/index?page=content&id=ALERT2165 and https://www.symantec.com/connect/blogs/update-chrome-53-bug-affecting-symantec-ssltls-certificates

Is there a mobile app fix we can do to fix this in the mean time for our users? 

Expected result:
No error message about certificates.

Actual result:
Security error message. See picture in tweet.


Thanks

Hello

Thanks for reporting the issue. We were unable to reproduce this issue on PageDuty app with Monochrome:55.0.2883.91. Please update Chrome from play store  and let us know if you still see this issue. This issue is reproducible on 53.0.2785.135 but is does not repro anymore on the PagerDuty app with the latest Chrome update available on the playstore.

See our notes here. 
https://www.chromium.org/developers/androidwebview/webview-ct-bug


the only option is for user to update Webview or Chrome in Android N. As developer, if you want, you can ask user to update WebView. Please follow our code example, which has a link in the said page.
