Code-signed apk fails

[J. Landman Gay]

We're about to release an Android app. I've been signing it for development only and it works 
well. Today I created a keystore "FPMobile.jks" in Terminal as usual.

As an aside, I got this in Terminal:
Warning:
The JKS keystore uses a proprietary format. It is recommended to migrate to PKCS12 which is an 
industry standard format using "keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore FPMobile.jks -destkeystore 
FPMobile.jks -deststoretype pkcs12".

I don't know if that's significant. I've ignored it in the past, so I went ahead and entered 
the jks file in standalone settings. When LC 9.6rc2 asked me to locate the keystore during the 
build, I was unable to select it in the file dialog until I chose "All files". That seemed to 
work and the build finished.

At any rate the real problem:

The codesigned app fails to download files from the server. My error log shows that sometimes 
there is no error at all but nothing is downloaded, other times the error is vague: "Invalid 
URL:" with no URL indicated. The same script and URLs work in the IDE and in the apk when built 
without the keystore.

I don't think codesigning should affect server queries but that seems to be what's happening. I 
rebuilt the apk without any changes except to remove the keystore and it worked perfectly 
again. Could TSNet be involved somehow?

I'm not sure where to look for the fault. Ideas?
