# eduroam CAT App

The **eduroam CAT App** (Configuration Assistant Tool) is the legacy tool used for automating the installation of [[eduroam]] network certificates and settings on Android devices.

## Usage
At the Universität Greifswald, this app is specifically designated for devices running **Android version 9 or older**. It serves as the primary configuration method for older hardware and as a fallback mechanism for newer devices (Android $\ge$ 10) that experience compatibility issues with the [[easyroam]] app.

## Relation to easyroam
While [[easyroam]] is the current standard for modern Android versions, the CAT app remains necessary for maintaining access for older device generations and addressing specific manufacturer-related bugs.
