Unable to set lock pin for Android apps requiring it

Bug Reports
#1

REPRODUCIBILITY: 100%
OS VERSION: 4.5.0.19
HARDWARE: Xperia III
UI LANGUAGE: English
REGRESSION: It seem so according to forum posts, was working in 4.2.0.19

DESCRIPTION:

It is not possible to set a lock pin in android settings, resulting in applications requiring it refusing to start/work (e.g. banking, payment applications).
This appear to have worked in past versions of SailfishOS with Android support, and one of the “workaround” is to flash a older version and then proceed to OTA upgrade from that versus instead flashing the latest one (apparently worked in 4.2.0.19 some users have reported).

PRECONDITIONS:

Flashing the latest version versus having upgraded from 4.2.0.19

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

  1. Either install an android app requiring the lock pin to be set or try to set the lock pin in android settings (the lock pin won’t be set)

EXPECTED RESULT:

Be able to set the lock pin (in Android).

ACTUAL RESULT:

Not being able to set the lock pin (in Android).

MODIFICATIONS:

None.

Thanks for the bug report. Created an internal bug report about this, however we already had a task about this.

@jwalden are there any news on this issue?

My bank changed their app which requires a lock. When they stop the previous app I won’t be able to access my account any more, since they require mobile authentication.
