[Bug]: java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException displayed instead of login error on Android 5/6

[Roniscend]

Summary

When attempting to log in with incorrect credentials on older Android versions (5.0/6.0), the app displays a technical SSL certificate error (Trust anchor for certification path not found) instead of a user-friendly "Invalid credentials" message.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open the Commons Beta app on an Android 6.0 device/emulator.
2. Navigate to the Login screen.
3. Enter a random username and password.
4. Tap the LOG IN button.

Is this similar: #6646?

[Roniscend]

Yep It is similar but there is no mention of Android 5

You can mention it there for testing, I think someone else is already working on it. In case they say they're not looking into it, we'll reassign :)
