    Hi vinodjaju, I see that you received a reply from our support engineers, let me copy it here:

     

    >>

    It seems that the cause of the issue is that your Android app uses some certificate which is required for the login process. When this Android app is being instrumented, the debug certificate overwrites yours.

    Thus, you can solve the issue in the following ways:
    1. You need to specify the developer certificate at the signing step in the Android Instrumentation wizard.
    2. Build your Android app in IDE:

    Those certificates should be from your Android app and they should be generated by the developers of that app in Android Studio.

Hi,

 

I have very little idea about what is the source for the "failed hardening security check" message, sorry for that.

But I would like to note that the use of the On Error Resume Next at the beginning of a function is highly not recommended practice as it hides all problems until unrecoverable crash occurs. And this crash might happen far far away from the line that failed initially. (Though far not sure that this will help with your exact problem.)
