For x reference:

Repeated (some) below:
Server host multiple versions of Moodle including a 3.2 and a 3.3 (highest).
Those implementations are in subdirectories ... not virtual apaches with different fully qualified domain names. So all sites are under the same SSL config/cert.
No errors reported in those versions (3.2,3.3) when setting up/allowing mobile access.
The error is present in setting up mobile access to the 3.4 site.
Attempting that, begets:
"It seems that the HTTPS certificate is self-signed or not trusted. The mobile app will only work with trusted sites."
not self-signed ... so that leaves 'not trusted'.
Checked server config and certs with CA (comodo) providers tool as well as with https://ssllabs.com/ no glaring errors ... sslabs does show 'trusted' - and provides a letter grade of 'A'.
So what does the mobile app setup consider 'trusted'? Cert is a global certificate for the domain.
Thanks, in advance, for any advice or test I could perform on server.
