Indy, OpenSSL, DataSnap on Android

[Milan Vydareny 0]

The difficulties when trying to use OpenSSL filters on a DataSnap application with an Android client have numbers of entries in various forums that go back a number of years. To summarize the problem:

1. Create a DataSnap server that specifies a filter of RSA, in my case using Delphi 11 Update 2, running on a Windows server as a service.

2. Create a DataSnap client that is deployed to an Android device, in my case a Samsung SD-9 with an ARM64-v8a instruction set running Android 10

3. The client application crashes because it is unable to load a required OpenSSL module.

 

I have tried a number of solutions that are discussed in various places but nothing works for me. My question is:

 

Does anyone know of a RECENT posting that provides a workable solution to getting an RSA filter to work with DataSnap/Indy/Firemonkey on an Android device?

 

My current understanding that the root cause of the problem is probably the failure of Indy to remain current with Google's erratic development habits, that has deprecated OpenSSL in favor of a branch called Boring. 

 

Has this been addressed effectively by anyone? If not, are there any plans to do so?

 

Thanks in advance,
