Spongycastel is a fork from bouncycastle.
This fork was created because of:

The Android platform unfortunately ships with a cut-down version of Bouncy Castle - as well as being crippled, it also makes installing an updated version of the libraries difficult due to classloader conflicts.

The thing is this, Android resolved this confliction after Android 3.
As this libary is not needed anymore and it needs time to maintain.
The developer canceled the support!

Ref: rtyley/spongycastle#34
Ref2: open-keychain/open-keychain#1676

As result the latest updated was 2017-08-30.

Please replace this package with a upstream bouncycastle or use the android build in com.android.org.bouncycastle if possible.

I think this one might be worth looking into @uluckas.
