TLS support in the Web component

MIT App Inventor Help
1

I am wondering what TLS level is supported by the Web component in App Inventor 2. I have been using App Inventor 2 to write apps that communicate with devices from Particle (Particle.io). See, for example: https://github.com/TeamPracticalProjects/MIT-App-Inventor-Particle-Photon-test

Particle has just announced that they are dropping support for TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 in their cloud API within a few weeks. They will continue to support TLS 1.2 and above. I am wondering if my apps will suddenly stop communicating with the Particle cloud API when support for TLS 1.0 and 1.1 ends. I use the Web component to communicate with the Particle cloud API via https GET, PUT and POST.

We use standard frameworks in Android for HTTPS connections. TLS 1.2 is supported in Android starting at Android 5.0 Lollipop. If you’re running your app on a device using Lollipop or newer, you should be fine.

Thanks so much for the fast and complete response. I am reassured now!
