Feature description
Right now the owncloud mobile app throws an error when attempting to connect to a server using mTLS for authentication.
Proposed solution
Instead of throwing an error, it should use existing Android APIs to use a client cert from the system. This is already supported by many other apps since Android is the one doing the heavy lifting.
Alternative solutions you considered
Using a web browser since web browsers natively support it.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by locating the Android connection path that throws when a server requires mTLS, then review how Android client-certificate APIs can be used there. Done means the app can connect to an mTLS-enabled server using a system client certificate instead of showing the current error.
