OpenSSL App rejection issue Android

Question

After researching so much, I still could not figure out what part of my app is using OpenSSL that is not accepted by Google.

After querying the below command, I received the output as:

unzip -p MyApp.apk | strings | grep "OpenSSL"

As I am using different library jar files and a library.so file in my project, my question is how should I figure out which library causes this issue?. Which library file should I replace so that My app is not rejected again?

Any help is really appreciated.

After a long research, I did figured out that one of the library that I was using in my App was compiled using older OpenSSL version. ie, unsupported versions of OpenSSL. Hence the solution for me was to recompiled that library Jar using latest version of OpenSSL.

Further, All developers were informed/notified by Google in the following Email during June:

Hello Google Play Developer,

We wanted to let you know that your app(s) listed below statically link against a version of OpenSSL that has multiple security vulnerabilities for users. Please migrate your app(s) to an updated version of OpenSSL by 7/7/15. Starting on this date, Google Play will block publishing of any new apps and updates that use unsupported versions of OpenSSL.

REASON FOR WARNING: Violation of the dangerous products provision of the Content Policy and section 4.4 of the Developer Distribution Agreement.

The vulnerabilities were fixed in OpenSSL versions beginning with 1.0.1h, 1.0.0m, and 0.9.8za. To confirm your OpenSSL version, you can do a grep via:

$ unzip -p YourApp.apk | strings | grep "OpenSSL"

For more information about the vulnerability, please see this OpenSSL Security Advisory. To confirm you’ve upgraded correctly, submit the updated version of the app(s) to the Developer Console and check back after five hours.

Starting on 7/7/15, we will not accept app updates containing the vulnerabilities. Any new apps containing the vulnerabilities will be rejected.

While these issues may not affect every app that uses OpenSSL versions prior to 1.0.1h, 1.0.0m, or 0.9.8za, it’s best to stay up to date on all security patches. Make sure to update any libraries in your app that have known issues, even if you're not sure the issues are relevant to your app.

Before publishing applications, please ensure your apps’ compliance with the Developer Distribution Agreement and Content Policy.

If you feel we’ve sent this warning in error, please contact our appeals team through the App Developer help center.

Sincerely,

Google Play Team

Hence you will have to figure out what part of your application uses older version of OpenSSL to resolve this issue. You also need to check if any jar file was compiled using older version of OpenSSL.

Hope this helps you in someway. Regards.
