'Why do devices with expired SSL certificates keep working?
I noticed that our app stopped working on a test device under Android 6. After researching, I found that this is due to the fact that the certificate has expired.

At the same time, according to the analytics, devices with 5 and 6 Androids continue to work. Why is this happening? As far as I understand, the certificate was supposed to expire on October 1, 2021, and all devices with old OSes should have lost the ability to work with our backend.
PS even more diligent is that exactly the same devices with the same OS version as my test device are working

Even tho the certificate has expired it doesn't mean that you can't communicate with the backend, it will just mean that the connection won't be https and will be http instead.
Haven't released anything on mobile yet so not 100% sure as to how it works on there but I think my above statement is what happens.
