Expired certificates are not handled

[andyholmes]

Current Behavior

Until now (at least), KDE Connect clients generate certificates with a 10-year expiry. With KDE Connect passing its 10th birthday awhile back, certificates have started to expire and cause silent errors.

Expected Behavior

Valent should handle certificate regeneration or notification of expiration automatically. Ideally, it should also be able to notify if a connection is refused because a remote device's certificate is expired.

but weirdly, it doesnt connection between 2 androids running kdeconnect ?

also any fix for this temporarily ?

If your ID is 91c110b9_b5fa_4cb3_9294_4f1971d6d132 then your certificate hasn't expired, you've encountered a different error. Could you open a separate report?
