I've downloaded the latest sample MAUI here: https://github.com/microsoft/dotnet-podcasts and copied the exact way they make requests but I can't get passed an 'unexpected end of stream error':
System.Net.WebException: unexpected end of stream on com.android.okhttp.Address#4c288121
---> Java.IO.IOException: unexpected end of stream on com.android.okhttp.Address#4c288121
I'm initialising the HttpClient in the MauiProgram.cs via the AddHttpClient factory method like so (note the different IP address for Andorid):
public static string Base = DeviceInfo.Platform == DevicePlatform.Android ? "http://10.0.2.2" : "https://localhost";
public static string APIUrl = $"{Base}:7096/api/";
builder.Services.AddHttpClient<DishClient>(client => { client.BaseAddress = new Uri(APIUrl); });
I've included the following android:networkSecurityConfig in the AndroidManifest.xml (which allows http traffic):
<network-security-config>
<base-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
<trust-anchors>
<certificates src="system" />
</trust-anchors>
</base-config>
</network-security-config>
The solution in Xamarin it seems is to use AndroidClientHandler but this is in a deprecated library that I can't use in MAUI, and there's no reference to it in the linked solution that works.
Things I've tried:
using Https: I've followed the guide here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/cross-platform/deploy-test/connect-to-local-web-services#bypass-the-certificate-security-check but I still get certificate errors:
System.Net.WebException: java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: Trust anchor for certification path not found.
---> Javax.Net.Ssl.SSLHandshakeException: java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: Trust anchor for certification path not found.
I've also tried this
handler.ServerCertificateCustomValidationCallback = HttpClientHandler.DangerousAcceptAnyServerCertificateValidator;
but get an error
System.PlatformNotSupportedException: Operation is not supported on this platform
It's been 4 days non-stop and i've gone through every conceivable setting in the working solution and can't find any differences. Any ideas?
#Jimmy in your code, you're changing the URL from "https://localhost" to "http://10.0.2.2" when you're running on android. In both cases, you're calling the API at port 7096:
public static string APIUrl = $"{Base}:7096/api/";. In the case of android, you're using the HTTP protocol, and in all other cases, you're using HTTPS.
I assume that your server listens to HTTPS only on port 7096 and not to HTTP. Maybe this causes your issue.
Another problem could be that your service is only bound to localhost but not to your IP address (you can look this up in the launchsettings.json of your API).
Another issue can be that your firewall doesn't allow incoming traffic on port 7096. You should check that, too, because you're not crossing machine borders when you're running on Windows. However, you have a cross-machine communication when running on the Android emulator.

I developed a Golang API to communicate with my Android app. My API is located on my "server" (currently an old laptop) and I can access my API on my Android device when both are connected on the same network, use the android:usesCleartextTraffic="true" in the manifest and use the IP (192.168.X.XX:XXX) of my server on my Android app. Cool so far :)
But now I want to access using different networks, for this, I created a Dynu account with DDNS with a built-in domain (test.freeddns.org). On my Android log displays:
No Network Security Config specified, using platform default
So I tried using network_security_config.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<domain-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
<domain includeSubdomains="true">test.freeddns.org</domain>
</domain-config>
</network-security-config>
but it gives me the following message:
2022-11-10 12:08:53.518 30659-30745 NetworkSecurityConfig D Using Network Security Config from resource network_security_config debugBuild: true
I tried using the public IP of my server with no success :( I still get the same error
I use the
RequestQueue queue = Volley.newRequestQueue(context); on my Android App to send a POST request to my server.
Any ideas will be more than welcome
Thanks in advance
Best regards
I experience the following situation:
Having an HTTP server written in Go using Gin framework and hosted on AWS, only some people (approximately 20%) are able to connect (everyone is connecting from a React Native axios client using an Android device).
The server is located on ec2-3-131-85-255.us-east-2.compute.amazonaws.com:2302. Every request is POST. For example, to register, users access the /register endpoint, http://ec2-3-131-85-255.us-east-2.compute.amazonaws.com:2302/register.
Any hint would be helpful. Thank you in advance.
Most of Android devices doesn't accept http protocol by default so you have to add https
and add this in your manifest application tag
android:networkSecurityConfig="#xml/network_security_config
and add this file to your android
res/xml/network_security_config
and write this inside this file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
<domain-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
<domain includeSubdomains="true">Your URL</domain>
</domain-config>
<base-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="false"/>
</network-security-config>
Maybe some clients are behind a firewall that doesn't allow http requests to ports different than the default (80 for http or 443 for https). You could try to change the port number on which the server listens for requests to port 80.
I know there are a lot of similar question but mine is particular.
I have Android app using a NodeJS Back-end on localhost:3000. In order to test my app on my real device (and other friend so far from me), I'm using Ngrok to redirect requests.
Then, on Postman, I can reach the BackEnd through Ngrok. When I run my App on Android Studio emulator, requests sent from the app can reach the BackEnd through Ngrok. On my real device, when I open a browser and send /GET I can also reach BackEnd through Ngrok. But, when I run my app on my real device (I installed the apk-debug generated from Android Studio), the request doesn't have any response and I can't see Ngrok receiving it in the logs, neither the Back-end.
Retrofit retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder()
//.baseUrl("http://10.0.2.2:3000/")
.baseUrl("http://1e2b8b83.ngrok.io/")
.addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
.build();
I found it :
Android P version is blocking requests to HTTP servers. We should either communicate to an HTTPS server or to use a quick fix. The fix then is to create an xml file with the following content :
<network-security-config>
<domain-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
<domain includeSubdomains="true">2b8e18b3.ngrok.io</domain>
<domain includeSubdomains="true">localhost</domain>
</domain-config>
then add it in the MANIFEST Application balise as follow :
<application
...
android:networkSecurityConfig="#xml/network_security_config"
... />
Big thanks to the guy who wrote this article :

I am new to android application development, when I try to run my server(using Xampp) the app works fine on my emulator, However after changing http://10.0.2.2 to my local ip using(IPv 4), the app which is user registration does not work when attempting to test it on my real mobile device (oneplus 6t) which uses android pie since this error is shown when attempting to create a new account :
Register Error!
com.android.volley.NoConnectionError: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: Trust anchor for certification path not found."
I believe that this error has something to due with my ip address because when I try to open the server using my ip the following alert is shown in google chrome
" Your connection is not private
Attackers might be trying to steal your information from my ip-address (for example, passwords, messages, or credit cards). Learn more
NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID "
If you are using android 9, you need to have secure https connections, that's the error that is returning to you
Is the same error you are having in chrome
Try this add manifest
cleartextTrafficPermitted="true"
How to allow all Network connection types HTTP and HTTPS in Android (9) Pie?
Until now, i was connecting to a http server which returns some data. Now, that server has changed and its https. Now, when connecting to the new url I'm getting this exception:
javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: Trust anchor for certification path not found.
In iOS this problem does not exist and the new https url returns the data correctly without doing nothing and with the same old code which worked with the http version of the server.
There is a way to avoid this problem without making changes at the source code like in iOS? This is only one of the various http connectiosn which i'm doing and which are being migrated to https on my app.
This is my code:
URLConnection connection;
URL url = new URL(configUrl);
connection = url.openConnection();
connection.setConnectTimeout(5000);
connection.setReadTimeout(5000);
int responseCode = ((HttpURLConnection)connection).getResponseCode();
Your server uses some certificate authority that is recognized by iOS and is not recognized by Android. There is little that you can do about this directly, other than complain to the server team.
If your minSdkVersion is 24 or higher, you can use network security configuration to teach Android about your certificate authority. This will not require any changes to Java code, but it will require setting up some resources and pointing to them in the manifest.
If your minSdkVersion is 17 through 23, you can use my backport of network security configuration, though this will require some code changes.
If your minSdkVersion is below 17, you will need to treat this situation more or less like a server using a self-signed certificate, and roll your own TrustManager.
