It looks like the f-droid.org certificate has expired? Obtainium throwing a lot of errors lately. Any idea what’s going on?

    jfc, I really want F-Droid to succeed because we urgently need alternatives to the Play Store, but amateur errors like this and the recent story about their ancient build servers does not exactly inspire confidence in the project.

    They probably just need to renew it. I’d raise it with the devs if it’s not resolved sometime in the next day.

    I don’t know if this is related, but I can’t use F-Droid on Android 6 since it does not contain the Let’s Encrypt cert without rooting the device, and it seems like F-Droid has stopped using the cross-signed version or maybe it’s Let’s Encrypt itself has stopped cross-signing? This happened a few months ago.

      I’d wager the root CA certificates on the device are expired since it hasn’t been updated in ages. So it can’t trust certs signed with the new root CAs.

      Android 6 was released almost exactly ten years ago. What device are you still running that it still runs on Android 6, if you don’t mind me asking?

          At this point, why not just root it? There are public exploits for Android 6 vulnerabilities, it’s not like you’d lose any security.
