Map Load Exception - Chain Validation failed

TomKlempay — Mon, 14 Mar 2022 17:26:28 GMT

I have a Xamarin Android native app that for the past few weeks, generates an exception when I make the call to Map.LoadAsync. The exception is "Chain Validation failed." I've attached a few screen shots of the exception details.

Before this, my call to load the map was working fine. I've never seen this before and I don't see any mention of it in the Esri Community. I am using the most current version of the Esri.ArcGISRuntime packages, 100.13.0.

Appreciate all comments and feedback. Thanks!

That error appears to indicate a TSL/SSL error which could represent a certificate issue, a client-side issue with the http configuration of your app, or even a date/time issue (based on Stack Overflow questions and Gitbub.com/Xamarin issues).

It ended up being what I would consider an account issue, not an app issue, etc. We've been transitioning from the Esri Startup program to the ArcGIS Developer program and the Startup account settings were changed a month ago. Looking back, that's about the time that I started to see that Esri exception thrown on the Map.LoadAsync call.

Yesterday, I created a new Esri API Key as a test. Wouldn't you know it, the "Chain Link failed" exception went away and my call to Map.LoadAsync is now working again.
