We’re working to support self-signed certificate in the future from our App Store / Google Play apps, but for now in order to use it, just follow @aaron.ogle advice and use LetsEncrypt if you can. ---

@User_18 Not by default, but you can fork the apps and include your own certificate in the implementation if you want to for now. ---

If you want to support self-signed certificates: [https://rocket.chat/docs/developer-guides/mobile-apps/supporting-ssl/](https://rocket.chat/docs/developer-guides/mobile-apps/supporting-ssl/). Do you think that helps you? ---
