Hi,

I am on Android 11 with the beta Version of geteduroam. But that crash
is not really my main point.

My problem is, that for users with Android 11 and up it is a lottery if
they can use eduroam or not (either CAT works or not).

The proposed solution geteduroam' can only be used if the user is
willing to enroll as a beta tester, because the live version breaks
protocoll and MIME-type settings and may not even work with Android 12
because Google messed up the API again.

And on top of all that there are the quirks that come with the "Wi-Fi
suggestion API" that hasn't even been fully implemented as per
https://github.com/geteduroam/ionic-app/issues/91 which is lying
dormant sind Nov. 2020

Greetings, 

Lukas
