I am in the exact same situation where I cannot connect to my 4.8.6.3 server using the 3.0.25 app. A really old version of the android blue iris (before the major update) connects immediately.
Update: I had been putting off upgrading to V5, but after doing that (upgrading to V5) by purchasing the support license for roughly $37, I was able to login using the android app V3.0.25.
I followed this forum post for the upgrade procedure, and encountered no issues. V4 to V5 Upgrade Procedure - Blue Iris

I just like the form factor and design of the previous version better. I'm not big on design changes once something is clean and works well. Will there be any problem continuing to use the previous version or will it at some point stop working?
I've the 3.0.26 version installed (28/04/21), but the connestion over HTTPS still doesn't work.
This is really not acceptable, this is not a kid software, I've paid for it and I use it in my company, how is it that an update breaks everything???

In response to andre_x, apparently the new app doesn't allow using "self-signed certificates" which is what most of us use with Stunnel. Can anyone tell me the best solution to get mobile access to blue iris back up and running when away from home? This has been pretty low on my priority list since I've been working from home for the past year, but I'll be going back to work pretty soon and really want this working. From what I can tell the best options are either VPN or using a signed certificate? What is the easiest path forward?

I actually already use Ubiquiti UniFi, and tried to use their built-in l2tp VPN setup, but it is EXTREMELY slow, so now I'm thinking of doing a wireguard rasberry pi?
How is it slow? The reason I ask is because my unifi l2tp vpn was slow when I used tmobile data. I had some suspicions that tmobile was throttling the connection so I switched to Verizon and the speeds increased dramatically.
I use tmobile as well (through metro) and that's lame, haha. I'm not going to switch carriers to get it to work though, so maybe I'll try wireguard.
I figured out it's Tmobile by connecting to my VPN through my brother's wifi network at his house. The speed was fine when I connected their but when I logged off his wifi and connected through my 5G data connection (tmobile), it seemed to be throttled to dial up speeds.
I called and complained but they swore up and down that it wasn't them. However, as soon as I switched to Verizon, I had no speed issues.
My friend put together a guide that worked great in getting my stunnel back up and working with a full-chain certificate. Just follow the guide here: szanzibar/autocerts. I chose not to go the VPN path as it would have required an always-on VPN which I didn't want to deal with (though may try wireguard later) since we use BI for doorbell notifications.
