I am also running into this issue on mac. Same error, same reason. Any reason we can't use a more modern version of OpenSSL?

[THartmanOfTheRedwoods]

Jus FYI, I edited the following file:

.buildozer/android/platform/python-for-android/pythonforandroid/prerequisites.py

I changed the openssl version as follows:

class OpenSSLPrerequisite(Prerequisite):
    name = "openssl"
    # homebrew_formula_name = "openssl@1.1"
    homebrew_formula_name = "openssl@3"

i.e. I simply updated the homebrew_formula_name to the current openssl version for homebrew, and my compile and build worked. I was able to build my app onto my device without any issue.

Obviously this is not a permanent fix @hemna, but it allowed me to get passed the mac build hurdle.

As someone on Discord mentioned. Mac has disabled OpenSSL 1.1.
