Android Studio: Server's certificate is not trusted

Question

Is it safe to ignore this warning? It shows up when I create a new project in Android Studio:

Server's certificate is not trusted

Certificate details

Issued To

CN (Common Name)       *.google.com
O (Organization)       Google Inc
L (Locality)           Mountain View
C (Country)            US
ST (State or Province) California

Issued By

CN (Common Name)       Google Internet Authority G2
O (Organization)       Google Inc
C (Country)            US

Validity Period

Valid from:            9/24/14
Valid until:           12/23/14

...

The date looks alright and I checked my computer's date settings to be sure. Why else would it be "not trusted"?

Answer 1

Android Studio has a configuration for Server Certificates (This works for other IntelliJ platforms like PyCharm as well)

Go to File->Settings. In the IDE Settings section select Server Certificates

Myself I just selected the Accept Automatically check box, hit Apply and never had to deal with it. If you are worried about security, there is also the option to add them 1 at a time as they come up.

In my case I did this because I already had a *.google.com certificate configured as accepted, but I still got the popup. I suspect that the fingerprint changed and if I would have deleted and then accepted the error would have gone away, but I decided to just make it go away by selecting the check box.
