Samsung Smart TV FiOS App not working

[#1]

Some Verizon people are looking at it.  Not sure they have any handle on the problem yet.  Especially as we have at least one person posting in another thread that it still is working for them.

A Samsung firmware update from early October causes this issue. It has to do with an authenticati n certificate.
Samsung and Verizon supposedly working on it...No ETA

Yes, thank you, for letting us know. I called Samsung as well and they are working on it, so I think that will cover all of us who are affected. As of yesterday, there was no fix, so am not sure when it will be done.

I have the exact same issue.  I called Verizon and the technican has no idea that it is not working or why.  He told me to call Samsung.  So while it may be a known issue, it does not seem like they are trying to fix it.

I just spoke to Samsung customer support and they are telling us to contact Verizon still.  So I don't think they are working on the issue if their support staff is still clueless.

Here is an update I got from Verizon:

yeah there is an issue with the app certificate and we're working to resolve the issue but there is no ETA at this time. We're using an older cert with the app that's not compatible with Samsung.

I just want to add that my Samsung tv had the stock firmware, and the app still bugged out on me last week. I tried updating the firmware to the newest version, but that didn't fix it. Whatever they say, it's not the newest firmware that caused the issue.

Its a CERTIFICATE problem.  Based on my own experiences with chaning or expiring certificates, Samsung has to give the updated certificate to Verizon.  Verizon has to integrate it and send a new version back to Samsung for distribution.  No ETA

I spoke to Samsung last night and the app has been pulled from the menu.  It was deleted from the Smart Hub and when I looked to download it again, it was missing.
