The Adyen payments platform performs regular checks to make sure that the mobile device that is used in a Mobile solution is secure.
If an issue is found during the security attestation process in an integration with the Android SDK, an error is shown on the mobile device. In many cases end users can resolve the issue themselves. The user needs to resolve the issue before trying to use the device again.
If an issue is found when using the Android Payments app, the error is shown on the mobile device or in the App link. The error usually needs to be fixed in the code.

During the boarding, 02_021 also occurs when the SDK started but its warm-up failed after the installation token was saved. In that case, the onboarding is rolled back. The error message describes the cause. For device errors and their required actions, see the error messages for the Android SDK. |
