Resolving OkHttp Issues with Retrofit in Java: A Step-by-Step Guide

If you're developing an Android application using Retrofit and OkHttp for network operations, you might encounter SSL-related issues that can hinder your app's functionality. One common error you might see is:

This error signifies that there is a mismatch between the hostname your app is trying to connect to and the verification details of the SSL certificate presented by the server. Below, we’ll explore this problem in more detail and provide you with a solution to ensure your network calls succeed without SSL issues.

Understanding the Problem

What is SSLPeerUnverifiedException?

The SSLPeerUnverifiedException is an indication that your app was unable to verify the SSL certificate of the server you are trying to connect to. This could stem from:

The server's certificate not being valid for the hostname you are trying to access.

The certificate chain not being completed, or the server may not be configured correctly to serve the public key.

Common Causes

Hostname Mismatch: The hostname in the request does not match any of the present names in the SSL certificate.

Using the Wrong Protocol: Ensuring you are using http or https correctly according to how the server is configured.

Solution Steps

To resolve the SSL error and ensure stable communication between your application and the server, follow these steps:

1. Check the Destination URL

Ensure that you're pointing your API client to the correct URL. Depending on the server's configuration:

Use HTTP: If the server does not support SSL (not recommended for production).

Use HTTPS: Ensure that the server supports SSL.

2. Verify Server's SSL Configuration

Before making calls, confirm that the server at your destination URL has a valid SSL certificate with the correct Common Name (CN) and Subject Alternative Names (SAN).

You can manually visit the URL in your browser and check the certificate details.

If you are using a domain, ensure that it is correctly served by the SSL certificate.

3. Temporarily Bypass SSL Verification (For Development Only)

If you are testing (not recommended for production), you may choose to bypass SSL verification using OkHttp’s custom configuration. This should only be a temporary measure:

Note: Make sure to implement SSL verification in production to avoid security vulnerabilities.

Conclusion

Encountering SSLPeerUnverifiedException while using Retrofit and OkHttp can temporarily halt your development. By following the above steps to adjust your API URL, checking server configuration, and understanding the SSL implications, you'll be back on track in no time. Remember that SSL is crucial for secure communications, so ensure proper implementation in your applications!

By addressing these common issues, you can ensure a smoother development process of your Java Android apps. If your problems persist, consider reaching out to community forums or updating your libraries.
