The mailing list for users of the eduroam Configuration Assistant Tool (CAT)

[Lukas Wringer <Lukas.Wringer AT rz.uni-augsburg.de>]

Hi,

on 02.07 I sent the following mail - but did not get an answer. Do I 
have to ask somewhere else then this list?

Greetings, Lukas

Hi,

somehow this mail slipped through my attention...

First: can the MIME-Type fix be backported for Andorid 10? As there are 
devices around that do not work with the traditional CAT App?

I considder a bug that is silently replacing all (not by hand 
configured) default apps with itself rather malicious. On my OnePlus 6 
even WhatsApp calls from my adress book are now automatically redirected 
to geteduroam.

Second: The new drawbacks leave me a bit puzzled - wasn't it the reason 
for using geteduroam in the first place to support Android 11?

If I remmeber correctly we had used it on an Android 11 test device 
before this update...

Greetings, Lukas
