XChat Azure for Android

Recent update 1.17.3 broke connections Connection failed. Error: (336085247) error:140840FF:SSL routines:SSL3_CONNECT:unknown state

The lovely issue where XChat Azure refuses to reconnect to a server with a self-signed certificate STILL exists. It looks like this has been an issue since 2013, or maybe even before. I would really actually like to use this application, since HexChat for OS X is buggy, but, in contrast with this application, it actually works.

Developer needs to fix this Crashing problem. Still crashes.

This was good software until the current dev became hellbent on distributing it through the appstore rather than traditional means. Adding it to the appstore meant adhering to Google's "guidelines", which effectively strip down fully functional computer software, into measly sub-par, semi-functional "apps". Before this abomination took hold, X-Chat Aqua was decent software; rather than fixing up the codebase and bringing it on par with Linux/Windows, we have this. The app sandboxing reduces all plugin functionality to moot, what is the point of having Python/Perl plugins when 98% of the system remains inaccessible? The last usable, reliable, stable release is Aqua 0.17.3 from 3 years ago, without the disgusting restrictions; the last time X-Chat could be called "software", not an "app"... Atleast fork the project to have a functional build without the ridiculous policies, or are we just waiting for Hexchat to make this completely obsolete? Don't believe me? Go to the Github page and see for yourself how many orders of magnitude better the Aqua version really is.

There's really nothing nice to say about this application. I haven't been able to use it because each time I click the icon to launch it, it crashes and a box opens to ask should I reopen it. So developer(s) maybe you need to go back to the draw board and try again.
