HTTPS Request in Kivy

I've been struggling with HTTPS requests in a Kivy app tied to an API hosted through AWS API Gateway. First, I moved from Python3 to 2 and then from the requests library to kivy's URLRequest.

The app works fine on my linux desktop. When I made the API request with the requests library I got an SSL error: SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert handshake failure

I moved to using URLRequest, which seems to be having the same SSL error as requests was. Arguments passed into the URLRequest error callback are: (, SSLError(1, '_ssl.c:503: error:14077410:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert handshake failure'))

I found this stackoverflow question: SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert handshake failure [Kivy]

Which implies this has to do with outdated python versions.

Is it just a Kivy android app is incapable of communicating with an AWS API Gateway?

Buildozer .spec lines: requirements = hostpython2, kivy, future, urllib3, python-dateutil, openssl, pyopenssl, jmespath, botocore, boto3, requests

android.permissions = INTERNET
