Error Fetching Instance URL - Invalid Certificate

[alkaris2]

Describe the bug

I can't enter the name of the mastodon social instance because it's giving me an error claiming "meow.social doesn't appear to be a Mastodon server."

java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: Trust anchor for certification path not found.

To reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Enter the URL for the mastodon instance like meow.social
2. See error when fetching data.

Does this happen in the official app?

No, this does not happen with stock official Mastodon app, all the forks including this one inherited this bug somewhere.
Make sure your certificates are up-to-date and push for a new release update immediately with these new updated certificates bundled in your app.

Does this issue also occur with the respective upstream release?

No
