Lesson Loading gives "ciphersuite is not supported" error

[seamustuohy]

I am unable to download lessons in Storymaker. It gives me a "ciphersuite is not supported" error.

Expected behaviour

When clicking on a link to load lessons from the lessons menu I expected to be provided with a list of lessons that I can download.

Actual behaviour

The following error was displayed.

ciphersuite 
TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA 
is not supported

Steps to replicate

• Install Latest Version of storymaker from Guardian Project's F-Droid repository
• Click Run in F-Droid repo
• Click on "Explore Lessons" button.
• Click on any "(tap to load)" items
• Black error box appears on the screen that loads.

Thanks for the comment. This is more a reminder that we are EOL StoryMaker 1.x in favor of StoryMaker 2.

@eighthave we need to remove StoryMaker 1 from our F-Droid repo.

And you need to add v2…

And there I seriously hope you don't mess around with the tls settings and let all stuff be done by Android as the OS is clearly aware of what TLS ciphers to use and which not to use. Just you know, TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA is a horrible old, outdated and probably insecure cipher.
