OkHttp Websocket connection failing few seconds after getting connected

[jashwin-codes]

Websocket connection is failing randomly in few android devices (Eg Xiaomi POCO X2) with the below error, it is happening few seconds after handshake is succeded.

The error is thrown where there is authentication of bytes.

^ DECRYPTION_FAILED_OR_BAD_RECORD_MAC. Its not just a Conscrypt or BoringSSL thing but OpenSSL can also see that error despite difference code.

Are you sure that there's no network or network hardware stability issue of some sort? Antivirus or firewall issue? There are people who see this error from that.

Because of that, there's a heavy external influence to this error. And one that can appear random like.

Agreed. For this to happen mid-connection is most likely to be some kind of data corruption.
