unable to download .apk from https

Question

I've developed for my customer an Android application. I dont want to release it on the Play Strore.

I've hosted it on my client website (asp.net, I've hadded the MIME type apk : application/vnd.android.package-archive). It works like a breeze via http.

The problem is when I try to download the same apk via https : the download doesn't start. I can see it in the notifications, but the progress bar doesn't move. I've tried with the stock browser and Dolphin browser in Android 2.3 and 4.0. It's allways the same issue.

Answer 1

As Rghav asked me, the HTTPS certificat authority isn't accepted by Android. The only solution is to use a certificate provided from a trusted CA.
