Wrong version of keystore - BKS generated with V146 of BouncyCastle

Question

I am trying to use BKS keystore in an Android application but I keep getting this exception.

I did use the version 1.46 of BouncyCastle to generate the keystore. I tested it with keytool

keytool -list -keystore truststore.bks -provider org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider -providerpath bcprov-jdk15on-146.jar -storetype BKS

I also printed out the Provider on my Phone:

05-31 19:53:52.918: D/MainActivity(18992): Version : BouncyCastle Security Provider v1.46 : BouncyCastle Security Provider v1.46

I don't know what to do...

Did you find a solution to this problem? I'm having the same issue. — Daniel, Jul 24 '13 at 17:03
I don't remember right now and I don't have the source code with me. I will update the post when I can get back home ;) — seven-down, Jul 30 '13 at 15:20
I managed to solve this by using SpongyCastle instead of BouncyCastle on the Android client. — Daniel, Jul 30 '13 at 16:58

As answered here: Wrong version of keystore on android call

The certificate version that is needed depends of the android version: Android 15- needs BKS-V1 (old version) Android 15 + needs BKS/BKS-V1 (new version) Android 23 + needs BKS (BKS-V1 is NO MORE supported)
