How do I update the SSL cert in my android apps?

Question

Recently I work on the project that has implemented the SSL.

The SSL cert is expire once per year. And it throw exception in android after I renew the cert on the server

Answer 1

Looks like the app is using "certificate pinning", which means that a certificate has been hardcoded into the app, and the app has been instructed to accept only that certificate and no other.

This increases security at the expense that you need to update your app when (ideally before) the certificate expires. You can following the instructions from a post I created here:

to generate a new .bks file from your certificate. Once this is done, overwrite your old .bks file and your app should successfully connect via SSL.
