Configuring eduroam when a profile is already installed using the eduroamCAT app

[jornane]

When configuring a profile through geteduroam while a profile is already installed using the eduroamCAT app, geteduroam seemingly succeeds, but the actual profile in the OS is not changed.

The same thing also happens when eduroam was already configured manually.

This applies both to CAT or geteduroam profiles applied through the geteduroam app.

Hi @jornane ,

Is that Android an AndroidQ? Please check #6 because it seems to be related. In Android we try to remove the network and create a new profile but if it's >= API 29 it doesn't work - the app cannot remove an WifiProfile that wasn't configured with the app.

Thanks

My test phone runs Android 10, so that AndroidQ right?

I understand that the app cannot remove or overwrite a profile, but can it detect that the profile is already there, and give appropriate feedback to the user?

Hi @jornane , as I said in #6 ,with API 29 and next, the app will never found any associated network, because Android returns the available confnigured networks empty (https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/wifi/WifiManager#getConfiguredNetworks()).

So, with API >=29, it will only remove the WifiProfile if was configured from the geteduroam app.

Doesn't the API return some error if you try to configure a new profile for an SSID that already exists? If not, can we file a ticket with Google in some way?
