Ugh, i'd put a gateway in front of it that transformed the status codes to a 200-response.

Instead of building your api according to the default Android client ( ps. Lookup BFF microservices)

It was a while ago, and we were very cost sensitive.

FWIW, I think the last Android phones with these client issues have probably died by now (it got mostly sorted out in 4.3 or so IIRC); this isn't a current concern.

Just pointing out an alternative that wouldn't break/uglify your api ;)
