the fingerprint
D6:41:54:2B:F7:E7:73:F5:BA:7B:97:79:4D:E0:14:21 2F:49:91:AE:97:15:EE:42:0B:16:F3:04:35:84:17:35 might be used in debug builds years ago,
before doing real releases. but not sure.

i checked quite some recent apk,
and none of them uses that fingerprint;
debug apk all seem to have a different fingerprint.

the only used fingerprint is the other one.

the validation itself still works as always:

Didn't check myself which one is the valid one, but removing outdated fingerprints sounds like a good idea.
