No idea, never used one. Do they ship with Play Services? If not, probably safe to assume any apps on them may need to be updated
AFAIK, you should be ok with pinning as you describe. However, if you can ship the patch it certainly doesn't hurt.
OkHttp version 5.5.1 and 4.12.1 are now available and patches the compromised eMudhra certificates
If you use OkHttp and support devices that do not have Google Play Services installed, you should upgrade ASAP

๐จ If you use OkHttp, you might want to add the following certificates to a blocklist ASAP due to a recent leak of certificate authority private keys
Thanks to Jesse Wilson for posting about this and adding the steps to mitigate

Also worth noting that Jesse mentions OkHttp will also be shipping a release asap to address this without the need for manual intervention
Will update here when that is available ๐

โผ๏ธ BREAKING: The private keys of 8 certificates from Indian certificate authority eMudhra were compromised, Mozilla says. Firefox blocked them within 3 hours.
Each key should be a 116-digit number, but one was just 4.
Anyone can guess them and forge HTTPS certs for any website.

I recently published a non-technical blog post on how a side-project of mine recently went 'viral' within the competitive Pokรฉmon TCG community
X-posting it here in case anyone is interested!

Spoke to some Android 'old-heads' at the recent Droidcon, and it's super interesting to me to see some of them starting to explore other industries/technologies
Is it AI's fault? Has the Android dev bubble burst? Are we all just "getting old"?
I honestly have no idea
Obviously a little biased, but 23 unique tracks of talks from industry leaders is a pretty insane offering from a conference at that price point imo
For what it's worth Berlin remains my absolute favourite droidcon event. So glad to have been a part of it once again ๐
Pretty disappointed with @nextappdevcon Berlin. Coffee isnโt even included and a croissant costs โฌ5. The food stalls are expensive as fuck. At a paid conference, Iโd expect at least basic refreshments to be covered. what are we even getting for 359โฌ ticket.Never coming again ๐

The Guardsquare team is ready to talk all things mobile application security.
๐ค Catch Blend Hamitiโs talk on securing app secrets using hardware-backed cryptography and the Android Keystore.
๐ Booth #20: Chat with our technical team
Probably two of the most interesting slides I've seen in a keynote in a long long time
