Before you mark this question as duplicate here me out.
I have added the res/xml/network_security_config.xml file and declared it in the AndroidManifest file but I am still getting this error:
Error while pinging URL: http://google.com. Cleartext HTTP traffic to google.com not permitted
network_security_config.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
<domain-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
<domain includeSubdomains="true">127.0.0.1</domain>
</domain-config>
AndroidManifest.xml
<application
android:networkSecurityConfig="#xml/network_security_config"
...
</application>
Important points:
I can't use https because its coming from a library that I am using. Facebook ad mediation library to be more specific.
When I use android:usesCleartextTraffic="true" in the manifest file instead of using network_security_config file it works.
Also when I use base-config instead of domain-config inside the network_security_config (of course I change the format to use base-config) then it also works.
But as many of the developers suggested, this is not a safe solution. Can anyone tell me if it is actually safe of not?
How can I solve this issue?
I had reports from users with Android 8 that my app (that uses back-end feed) does not show content. After investigation I found following Exception happening on Android 8:
08-29 12:03:11.246 11285-11285/ E/: [12:03:11.245, main]: Exception: IOException java.io.IOException: Cleartext HTTP traffic to * not permitted

(I've removed package name, URL and other possible identifiers)
On Android 7 and lower everything works, I do not set android:usesCleartextTraffic in Manifest (and setting it to true does not help, that is the default value anyway), neither do I use Network Security Information. If I call NetworkSecurityPolicy.getInstance().isCleartextTrafficPermitted(), it returns false for Android 8, true for older version, using the same apk file.
I tried to find some mention of this on Google info about Android O, but without success.
According to Network security configuration -
Starting with Android 9 (API level 28), cleartext support is disabled
by default.
Also have a look at Android M and the war on cleartext traffic
Codelabs explanation from Google
Option 1 -
First try hitting the URL with https:// instead of http://
Option 2 -
Create file res/xml/network_security_config.xml -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
<domain-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
<domain includeSubdomains="true">api.example.com(to be adjusted)</domain>
</domain-config>
</network-security-config>
AndroidManifest.xml -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest ...>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<application
...
android:networkSecurityConfig="#xml/network_security_config"
...>
...
</application>
</manifest>
Option 3 -
android:usesCleartextTraffic Doc
AndroidManifest.xml -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest ...>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<application
...
android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"
...>
...
</application>
</manifest>
Also as #david.s' answer pointed out android:targetSandboxVersion can be a problem too -
According to Manifest Docs -
android:targetSandboxVersion
The target sandbox for this app to use. The higher the sandbox version
number, the higher the level of security. Its default value is 1; you
can also set it to 2. Setting this attribute to 2 switches the app to
a different SELinux sandbox. The following restrictions apply to a
level 2 sandbox:
The default value of usesCleartextTraffic in the Network Security Config is false.
Uid sharing is not permitted.
So Option 4 -
If you have android:targetSandboxVersion in <manifest> then reduce it to 1
AndroidManifest.xml -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest android:targetSandboxVersion="1">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
...
</manifest>
My problem in Android 9 was navigating on a webview over domains with http
The solution from this answer
<application
android:networkSecurityConfig="#xml/network_security_config"
...>
and:
res/xml/network_security_config.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
<base-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
<trust-anchors>
<certificates src="system" />
</trust-anchors>
</base-config>
</network-security-config>
In the AndroidManifest I found this parameter:
android:networkSecurityConfig="#xml/network_security_config"
and #xml/network_security_config is defined in network_security_config.xml as:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
<!--Set application-wide security config using base-config tag.-->
<base-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="false"/>
</network-security-config>
just I changed cleartextTrafficPermitted to true
You might only want to allow cleartext while debugging, but keep the security benefits of rejecting cleartext in production. This is useful for me because I test my app against a development server that does not support https. Here is how to enforce https in production, but allow cleartext in debug mode:
In build.gradle:
// Put this in your buildtypes debug section:
manifestPlaceholders = [usesCleartextTraffic:"true"]
// Put this in your buildtypes release section
manifestPlaceholders = [usesCleartextTraffic:"false"]
In the application tag in AndroidManifest.xml
android:usesCleartextTraffic="${usesCleartextTraffic}"
Ok, that's ⇒⇒ NOT ⇐⇐ the thousands repeat of add it to your Manifest, but an hint which based on this, but give you additional Benefit (and maybe some Background Info).
Following solution allow you to set the protocol (HTTP / HTTPS) per ENVIRONMENT.
This way you are able to use http for your DEV-Environment, and https for your PRODUCTION-Environment, without the need to change it all the time!
And this is needed, because generally you don't have an https-certificate for your local or dev environment, but it's a MUST-HAVE for production (and maybe for staging) environments.
Android has a kind of overwriting functionality for the src-Directory.
By default, you have
/app/src/main
But you can add additional directories to overwrite your AndroidManifest.xml. Here is how it works:
Create the Directory /app/src/debug
Inside create the AndroidManifest.xml
Inside of this File, you don't have to put all the Rules inside, but only the ones you like to overwrite from your /app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml
Here an Example how it looks like for the requested CLEARTEXT-Permission:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.yourappname">
<application
android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"
android:name=".MainApplication"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:allowBackup="false"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">
</application>
</manifest>
With this knowledge it's now easy as 1,2,3 for you to overload your Permissions depending on your debug | main | release Enviroment.
The big benefit on it... you don't have debug-stuff in your production-Manifest and you keep an straight and easy maintainable structure
If possible change your url's from HTTP to HTTPS;
It works out!!!
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
<domain-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
<domain includeSubdomains="true">***Your URL(ex: 127.0.0.1)***</domain>
</domain-config>
</network-security-config>
In the suggestion provided above I was providing my URL as http://xyz.abc.com/mno/
I changed that to xyz.abc.com then it started working.
It could be useful for someone.
We recently had the same issue for Android 9, but we only needed to display some Urls within WebView, nothing very special. So adding android:usesCleartextTraffic="true" to Manifest worked, but we didn't want to compromise security of the whole app for this.
So the fix was in changing links from http to https
For React Native projects
It was already fixed on RN 0.59.
You can find on upgrade diff from 0.58.6 to 0.59
You can apply it without upgrading you RN versionust follow the below steps:
Create files:
android/app/src/debug/res/xml/react_native_config.xml -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
<domain-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
<domain includeSubdomains="false">localhost</domain>
<domain includeSubdomains="false">10.0.2.2</domain>
<domain includeSubdomains="false">10.0.3.2</domain>
</domain-config>
</network-security-config>
android/app/src/debug/AndroidManifest.xml -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW"/>
<application tools:targetApi="28"
tools:ignore="GoogleAppIndexingWarning"
android:networkSecurityConfig="#xml/react_native_config" />
</manifest>
Check the accepted answer to know the root cause.
I have removed this line from the android manifest file which is already there
android:networkSecurityConfig="#xml/network_security_config"
and added
android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"
this in to application tag in manifest
<application
android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"
android:allowBackup="true"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:largeHeap="true"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme"
>
then this error Cleartext HTTP traffic to overlay.openstreetmap.nl not permitted is gone for me in android 9 and 10.I hope this will work for android 8 also if it is helped you don't forget to vote thank you
Adding ...
android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"
... to your manifest file may appear to fix the problem but it opens a threat to data integrity.
For security reasons I used manifest placeholders with android:usesCleartextTraffic inside the manifest file (like in Option 3 of the accepted answer i.e #Hrishikesh Kadam's response) to only allow cleartext on debug environment.
Inside my build.gradle(:app) file, I added a manifest placeholder like this:
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
debug {
manifestPlaceholders.cleartextTrafficPermitted ="true"
}
}
Note the placeholder name cleartextTrafficPermitted at this line above
manifestPlaceholders.cleartextTrafficPermitted ="true"
Then in my Android Manifest, I used the same placeholder ...
AndroidManifest.xml -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest ...>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<application
...
android:usesCleartextTraffic="${cleartextTrafficPermitted}"
...>
...
</application>
</manifest>
With that, cleartext traffic is only permitted under the debug environment.
Simple and Easiest Solution [Xamarin Form]
For Android
Goto Android Project, then Click on Properties,
Open AssemblyInfo.cs and paste this code right there:
[assembly: Application(UsesCleartextTraffic =true)]
For iOS
Use NSAppTransportSecurity:
You have to set the NSAllowsArbitraryLoads key to YES under NSAppTransportSecurity dictionary in your info.plist file.
<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
<key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
<true/>
</dict>
Okay, I have figured this out. It is due to the Manifest parameter android:targetSandboxVersion="2", that I have added because we also have Instant App version - it should make sure than once user upgrades from Instant App to regular app, he will not loose his data with the transfer. However as the vague description suggest:
Specifies the target sandbox this app wants to use. Higher sanbox versions will have increasing levels of security.
The default value of this attribute is 1.
It obviously also adds new level of security policy, at least on Android 8.
To apply these various answers to Xamarin.Android, you can use class and assembly level Attributes vs. manually editing the AndroidManifest.xml
Internet permission of course is needed (duh..):
[assembly: UsesPermission(Android.Manifest.Permission.Internet)]
Note: Typically assembly level attributes are added to your AssemblyInfo.cs file, but any file, below the using and above the namespace works.
Then on your Application subclass (create one if needed), you can add NetworkSecurityConfig with a reference to an Resources/xml/ZZZZ.xml file:
#if DEBUG
[Application(AllowBackup = false, Debuggable = true, NetworkSecurityConfig = "#xml/network_security_config")]
#else
[Application(AllowBackup = true, Debuggable = false, NetworkSecurityConfig = "#xml/network_security_config"))]
#endif
public class App : Application
{
public App(IntPtr javaReference, Android.Runtime.JniHandleOwnership transfer) : base(javaReference, transfer) { }
public App() { }
public override void OnCreate()
{
base.OnCreate();
}
}
Create a file in the Resources/xml folder (create the xml folder if needed).
Example xml/network_security_config file, adjust as needed (see other answers)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
<domain-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
<domain includeSubdomains="true">www.example.com</domain>
<domain includeSubdomains="true">notsecure.com</domain>
<domain includeSubdomains="false">xxx.xxx.xxx</domain>
</domain-config>
</network-security-config>
You can also use the UsesCleartextTraffic parameter on the ApplicationAttribute:
#if DEBUG
[Application(AllowBackup = false, Debuggable = true, UsesCleartextTraffic = true)]
#else
[Application(AllowBackup = true, Debuggable = false, UsesCleartextTraffic = true))]
#endif
While the working answer, for me, was this by #PabloCegarra:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
<base-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
<trust-anchors>
<certificates src="system" />
</trust-anchors>
</base-config>
</network-security-config>
You may receive a security warning regarding the cleartextTrafficPermitted="true"
If you know the domains to 'white list' you should mix both accepted answer and the above one:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
<base-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="false">
<trust-anchors>
<certificates src="system" />
</trust-anchors>
</base-config>
<domain-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
<domain includeSubdomains="true">books.google.com</domain>
<trust-anchors>
<certificates src="system" />
</trust-anchors>
</domain-config>
</network-security-config>
This code is working for me, but my app needs to retrieve data from books.google.com only.
By this way the security warning disappears.
I am also got the same "Cleartext HTTP traffic not permitted" error while developing my Application. I am using Retrofit2 for network calls in my application and I have two project environments(dev & production). My Production domain is having SSL certificate with HTTPS calls and dev won't have https. The configuration is added in the build flavors. But when I change to dev, this issue will trigger. So I have added below-solution for that.
I have added cleartext traffic in the manifest
android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"
Then I have added a connection spec in the retrofit configuration class OKHttp creation time.
.connectionSpecs(CollectionsKt.listOf(ConnectionSpec.MODERN_TLS, ConnectionSpec.CLEARTEXT))
Complete OkHttpClient creation is given below
OkHttpClient okHttpClient = new OkHttpClient.Builder()
.readTimeout(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
.connectTimeout(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
.cache(null)
.connectionSpecs(CollectionsKt.listOf(ConnectionSpec.MODERN_TLS, ConnectionSpec.CLEARTEXT))
.addInterceptor(new NetworkInterceptor(context))
.addInterceptor(createLoggingInterceptor())
.addInterceptor(createSessionExpiryInterceptor())
.addInterceptor(createContextHeaderInterceptor())
.build();
Update December 2019 ionic - 4.7.1
<manifest xmlns:tools=“http://schemas.android.com/tools”>
<application android:usesCleartextTraffic=“true” tools:targetApi=“28”>
Please add above content in android manifest .xml file
Previous Versions of ionic
Make sure you have the following in your config.xml in Ionic Project:
<edit-config file="app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml" mode="merge" target="/manifest/application" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<application android:networkSecurityConfig="#xml/network_security_config" />
<application android:usesCleartextTraffic="true" />
</edit-config>
Run ionic Cordova build android. It creates Android folder under Platforms
Open Android Studio and open the Android folder present in our project
project-platforms-android. Leave it for few minutes so that it builds the gradle
After gradle build is finished we get some errors for including minSdVersion in manifest.xml.
Now what we do is just remove <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="19" /> from manifest.xml.
Make sure its removed from both the locations:
app → manifests → AndroidManifest.xml.
CordovaLib → manifests → AndroidManifest.xml.
Now try to build the gradle again and now it builds successfully
Make sure you have the following in Application tag in App → manifest → Androidmanifest.xml:
<application
android:networkSecurityConfig="#xml/network_security_config" android:usesCleartextTraffic="true" >
Open network_security_config (app → res → xml → network_security_config.xml).
Add the following code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
<domain-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
<domain includeSubdomains="true">xxx.yyyy.com</domain>
</domain-config>
</network-security-config>
Here xxx.yyyy.com is the link of your HTTP API. Make sure you don't include any Http before the URL.
Note: Now build the app using Android Studio (Build -- Build Bundle's/APK -- Build APK) and now you can use that App and it works fine in Android Pie. If you try to build app using ionic Cordova build android it overrides all these settings so make sure you use Android Studio to build the Project.
If you have any older versions of app installed, Uninstall them and give a try or else you will be left with some error:
App not Installed
Create file - res / xml / network_security.xml
In network_security.xml ->
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
<domain-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
<domain includeSubdomains="true">192.168.0.101</domain>
</domain-config>
</network-security-config>
Open AndroidManifests.xml :
android:usesCleartextTraffic="true" //Add this line in your manifests
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:roundIcon="#mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">
cleartext support is disabled by default.Android in 9 and above
Try This one I hope It will work fine
1 Step:-> add inside android build gradle (Module:App)
useLibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy'
android {

}
Then 2 Step:-> manifest
add inside manifest application tag
<application

</network-security-config>
Put following into your resources/android/xml/network_security_config.xml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
<base-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true" />
</network-security-config>
This solves Failed to load resource: net::ERR_CLEARTEXT_NOT_PERMITTED problem on Android for Cordova / Ionic.
I would suggest to add both dev and prod network configs:
add res/xml/network_security_config_dev.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
<domain-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
<domain includeSubdomains="true">10.0.2.2</domain>
</domain-config>
</network-security-config>
addres/xml/network_security_config_prod.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
<domain-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="false">
<domain includeSubdomains="true">yourdomain.com</domain>
</domain-config>
</network-security-config>
under Gradle Scripts (in android studio), find build.gradle (android.app) and look for buildTypes: release and debug (create if not exists):
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
manifestPlaceholders.securityConfig = "#xml/network_security_config_prod"
}
debug {
manifestPlaceholders.securityConfig = "#xml/network_security_config_dev"
}
}
in AndroidManifest.xml use securityConfig placeholder as following (which was defined in build.gradle):
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:roundIcon="#mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:networkSecurityConfig="${securityConfig}" <------- here
Just add android:usesCleartextTraffic="true" inside the in AndroidManifest.xml file
In my case that URL is not working in browser also.
I check with https://www.google.com/
webView.loadUrl("https://www.google.com/")
And it worked for me.
For Xamarin.Android developers make sure HttpClient implementation and SSL/TLS is set to Default.
It can be found under Andorid Options -> Advanced Android Options.
This is done for security reasons, you should always prefer to use HTTPS (HTTP Secure) where possible.
You can read more about it here
There are multiple solutions for this issue depending on your condition.
If you are trying to communicate with a first party service, IE: your own web server
Server side: You should add HTTPS support to that server and use HTTPS instead of HTTP. These days you can even do it for free using services like LetsEncrypt and others
Client side: If you are using the HttpURLConnection from the java.net package you can switch to HttpsURLConnection of the java.net.ssl package, it has a similar if not identical API, so the switch should be effortless.
If you are using a third party service, like Google, Facebook, a weather service, etc.
In case that the service you are communicating with supports HTTPS (which it most likely does) you can just change your request URL from http://abc.xyz to https://abc.xyz.
As a last resort, if the third party service that you want to communicate with does not support HTTPS or any other form of secure communication, you can use this answer, but again, this is not recommended as it defeats the purpose of this much needed security feature.
If you are using ionic and getting this error during native http plugin, following fix needs to be done-
goto resources/android/xml/network_security_config.xml
Change it to-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
<domain-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
<domain includeSubdomains="true">localhost</domain>
<domain includeSubdomains="true">api.example.com(to be adjusted)</domain>
</domain-config>
</network-security-config>
That worked for me!
I using Cordova 8 with cordova-plugin-whitelist 1.3.4
and it default configuration my app no access to internet and i only add a parameter in the manifest.xml -> android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"

Upgrade to React Native 0.58.5 or higher version.
They have includeSubdomain in their config files in RN 0.58.5.
ChangeLog
In Rn 0.58.5 they have declared network_security_config with their server domain. Network security configuration allows an app to permit cleartext traffic from a certain domain. So no need to put extra effort by declaring android:usesCleartextTraffic="true" in the application tag of your manifest file. It will be resolved automatically after upgrading the RN Version.
After changed API version 9.0 getting the error Cleartext HTTP traffic to YOUR-API.DOMAIN.COM not permitted (targetSdkVersion="28"). in xamarin, xamarin.android and android studio.
Two steps to solve this error in xamarin, xamarin.android and android studio.
Step 1: Create file resources/xml/network_security_config.xml
In network_security_config.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<network-security-config>
<domain-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
<domain includeSubdomains="true">mobapi.3detrack.in</domain>
</domain-config>
</network-security-config>
Step 2: update AndroidManifest.xml -
Add android:networkSecurityConfig="#xml/network_security_config" on application tag.
e.g:
<application android:label="your App Name" android:icon="#drawable/icon" android:networkSecurityConfig="#xml/network_security_config">

On Android 7 and lower everything works, I do not set android:usesCleartextTraffic in Manifest (and setting it to true does not help, that is the default value anyway), neither do I use Network Security Information. If I call NetworkSecurityPolicy.getInstance().isCleartextTrafficPermitted(), it returns false for Android 8, true for older version, using the same apk file.
I tried to find some mention of this on Google info about Android O, but without success.
According to Network security configuration -
Starting with Android 9 (API level 28), cleartext support is disabled
by default.
Also have a look at Android M and the war on cleartext traffic
Codelabs explanation from Google
Option 1 -
First try hitting the URL with https:// instead of http://
Option 2 -
Create file res/xml/network_security_config.xml -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
<domain-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
<domain includeSubdomains="true">api.example.com(to be adjusted)</domain>
</domain-config>
</network-security-config>
AndroidManifest.xml -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest ...>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<application
...
android:networkSecurityConfig="#xml/network_security_config"
...>
...
</application>
</manifest>
Option 3 -
android:usesCleartextTraffic Doc
AndroidManifest.xml -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest ...>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<application
...
android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"
...>
...
</application>
</manifest>
Also as #david.s' answer pointed out android:targetSandboxVersion can be a problem too -
According to Manifest Docs -
android:targetSandboxVersion
The target sandbox for this app to use. The higher the sandbox version
number, the higher the level of security. Its default value is 1; you
can also set it to 2. Setting this attribute to 2 switches the app to
a different SELinux sandbox. The following restrictions apply to a
level 2 sandbox:
The default value of usesCleartextTraffic in the Network Security Config is false.
Uid sharing is not permitted.
So Option 4 -
If you have android:targetSandboxVersion in <manifest> then reduce it to 1
AndroidManifest.xml -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest android:targetSandboxVersion="1">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
...
</manifest>
My problem in Android 9 was navigating on a webview over domains with http
The solution from this answer
<application
android:networkSecurityConfig="#xml/network_security_config"
...>
and:
res/xml/network_security_config.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
<base-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
<trust-anchors>
<certificates src="system" />
</trust-anchors>
</base-config>
</network-security-config>
In the AndroidManifest I found this parameter:
android:networkSecurityConfig="#xml/network_security_config"
and #xml/network_security_config is defined in network_security_config.xml as:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
<!--Set application-wide security config using base-config tag.-->
<base-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="false"/>
</network-security-config>
just I changed cleartextTrafficPermitted to true
You might only want to allow cleartext while debugging, but keep the security benefits of rejecting cleartext in production. This is useful for me because I test my app against a development server that does not support https. Here is how to enforce https in production, but allow cleartext in debug mode:
In build.gradle:
// Put this in your buildtypes debug section:
manifestPlaceholders = [usesCleartextTraffic:"true"]
// Put this in your buildtypes release section
manifestPlaceholders = [usesCleartextTraffic:"false"]
In the application tag in AndroidManifest.xml
android:usesCleartextTraffic="${usesCleartextTraffic}"
Ok, that's ⇒⇒ NOT ⇐⇐ the thousands repeat of add it to your Manifest, but an hint which based on this, but give you additional Benefit (and maybe some Background Info).
Following solution allow you to set the protocol (HTTP / HTTPS) per ENVIRONMENT.
This way you are able to use http for your DEV-Environment, and https for your PRODUCTION-Environment, without the need to change it all the time!
And this is needed, because generally you don't have an https-certificate for your local or dev environment, but it's a MUST-HAVE for production (and maybe for staging) environments.
Android has a kind of overwriting functionality for the src-Directory.
By default, you have
/app/src/main
But you can add additional directories to overwrite your AndroidManifest.xml. Here is how it works:
Create the Directory /app/src/debug
Inside create the AndroidManifest.xml
Inside of this File, you don't have to put all the Rules inside, but only the ones you like to overwrite from your /app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml
Here an Example how it looks like for the requested CLEARTEXT-Permission:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.yourappname">
<application
android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"
android:name=".MainApplication"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:allowBackup="false"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">
</application>
</manifest>
With this knowledge it's now easy as 1,2,3 for you to overload your Permissions depending on your debug | main | release Enviroment.
The big benefit on it... you don't have debug-stuff in your production-Manifest and you keep an straight and easy maintainable structure
If possible change your url's from HTTP to HTTPS;
It works out!!!
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
<domain-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
<domain includeSubdomains="true">***Your URL(ex: 127.0.0.1)***</domain>
</domain-config>
</network-security-config>
In the suggestion provided above I was providing my URL as http://xyz.abc.com/mno/
I changed that to xyz.abc.com then it started working.
It could be useful for someone.
We recently had the same issue for Android 9, but we only needed to display some Urls within WebView, nothing very special. So adding android:usesCleartextTraffic="true" to Manifest worked, but we didn't want to compromise security of the whole app for this.
So the fix was in changing links from http to https
For React Native projects
It was already fixed on RN 0.59.
You can find on upgrade diff from 0.58.6 to 0.59
You can apply it without upgrading you RN versionust follow the below steps:
Create files:
android/app/src/debug/res/xml/react_native_config.xml -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
<domain-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
<domain includeSubdomains="false">localhost</domain>
<domain includeSubdomains="false">10.0.2.2</domain>
<domain includeSubdomains="false">10.0.3.2</domain>
</domain-config>
</network-security-config>
android/app/src/debug/AndroidManifest.xml -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW"/>
<application tools:targetApi="28"
tools:ignore="GoogleAppIndexingWarning"
android:networkSecurityConfig="#xml/react_native_config" />
</manifest>
Check the accepted answer to know the root cause.
I have removed this line from the android manifest file which is already there
android:networkSecurityConfig="#xml/network_security_config"
and added
android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"
this in to application tag in manifest
<application
android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"
android:allowBackup="true"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:largeHeap="true"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme"
>
then this error Cleartext HTTP traffic to overlay.openstreetmap.nl not permitted is gone for me in android 9 and 10.I hope this will work for android 8 also if it is helped you don't forget to vote thank you
Adding ...
android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"
... to your manifest file may appear to fix the problem but it opens a threat to data integrity.
For security reasons I used manifest placeholders with android:usesCleartextTraffic inside the manifest file (like in Option 3 of the accepted answer i.e #Hrishikesh Kadam's response) to only allow cleartext on debug environment.
Inside my build.gradle(:app) file, I added a manifest placeholder like this:
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
debug {
manifestPlaceholders.cleartextTrafficPermitted ="true"
}
}
Note the placeholder name cleartextTrafficPermitted at this line above
manifestPlaceholders.cleartextTrafficPermitted ="true"
Then in my Android Manifest, I used the same placeholder ...
AndroidManifest.xml -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest ...>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<application
...
android:usesCleartextTraffic="${cleartextTrafficPermitted}"
...>
...
</application>
</manifest>
With that, cleartext traffic is only permitted under the debug environment.
Simple and Easiest Solution [Xamarin Form]
For Android
Goto Android Project, then Click on Properties,
Open AssemblyInfo.cs and paste this code right there:
[assembly: Application(UsesCleartextTraffic =true)]
For iOS
Use NSAppTransportSecurity:
You have to set the NSAllowsArbitraryLoads key to YES under NSAppTransportSecurity dictionary in your info.plist file.
<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
<key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
<true/>
</dict>
Okay, I have figured this out. It is due to the Manifest parameter android:targetSandboxVersion="2", that I have added because we also have Instant App version - it should make sure than once user upgrades from Instant App to regular app, he will not loose his data with the transfer. However as the vague description suggest:
Specifies the target sandbox this app wants to use. Higher sanbox versions will have increasing levels of security.
The default value of this attribute is 1.
It obviously also adds new level of security policy, at least on Android 8.
To apply these various answers to Xamarin.Android, you can use class and assembly level Attributes vs. manually editing the AndroidManifest.xml
Internet permission of course is needed (duh..):
[assembly: UsesPermission(Android.Manifest.Permission.Internet)]
Note: Typically assembly level attributes are added to your AssemblyInfo.cs file, but any file, below the using and above the namespace works.
Then on your Application subclass (create one if needed), you can add NetworkSecurityConfig with a reference to an Resources/xml/ZZZZ.xml file:
#if DEBUG
[Application(AllowBackup = false, Debuggable = true, NetworkSecurityConfig = "#xml/network_security_config")]
#else
[Application(AllowBackup = true, Debuggable = false, NetworkSecurityConfig = "#xml/network_security_config"))]
#endif
public class App : Application
{
public App(IntPtr javaReference, Android.Runtime.JniHandleOwnership transfer) : base(javaReference, transfer) { }
public App() { }
public override void OnCreate()
{
base.OnCreate();
}
}
Create a file in the Resources/xml folder (create the xml folder if needed).
Example xml/network_security_config file, adjust as needed (see other answers)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
<domain-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
<domain includeSubdomains="true">www.example.com</domain>
<domain includeSubdomains="true">notsecure.com</domain>
<domain includeSubdomains="false">xxx.xxx.xxx</domain>
</domain-config>
</network-security-config>
You can also use the UsesCleartextTraffic parameter on the ApplicationAttribute:
#if DEBUG
[Application(AllowBackup = false, Debuggable = true, UsesCleartextTraffic = true)]
#else
[Application(AllowBackup = true, Debuggable = false, UsesCleartextTraffic = true))]
#endif
While the working answer, for me, was this by #PabloCegarra:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
<base-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
<trust-anchors>
<certificates src="system" />
</trust-anchors>
</base-config>
</network-security-config>
You may receive a security warning regarding the cleartextTrafficPermitted="true"
If you know the domains to 'white list' you should mix both accepted answer and the above one:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
<base-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="false">
<trust-anchors>
<certificates src="system" />
</trust-anchors>
</base-config>
<domain-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
<domain includeSubdomains="true">books.google.com</domain>
<trust-anchors>
<certificates src="system" />
</trust-anchors>
</domain-config>
</network-security-config>
This code is working for me, but my app needs to retrieve data from books.google.com only.
By this way the security warning disappears.
I am also got the same "Cleartext HTTP traffic not permitted" error while developing my Application. I am using Retrofit2 for network calls in my application and I have two project environments(dev & production). My Production domain is having SSL certificate with HTTPS calls and dev won't have https. The configuration is added in the build flavors. But when I change to dev, this issue will trigger. So I have added below-solution for that.
I have added cleartext traffic in the manifest
android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"
Then I have added a connection spec in the retrofit configuration class OKHttp creation time.
.connectionSpecs(CollectionsKt.listOf(ConnectionSpec.MODERN_TLS, ConnectionSpec.CLEARTEXT))
Complete OkHttpClient creation is given below
OkHttpClient okHttpClient = new OkHttpClient.Builder()
.readTimeout(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
.connectTimeout(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
.cache(null)
.connectionSpecs(CollectionsKt.listOf(ConnectionSpec.MODERN_TLS, ConnectionSpec.CLEARTEXT))
.addInterceptor(new NetworkInterceptor(context))
.addInterceptor(createLoggingInterceptor())
.addInterceptor(createSessionExpiryInterceptor())
.addInterceptor(createContextHeaderInterceptor())
.build();
Update December 2019 ionic - 4.7.1
<manifest xmlns:tools=“http://schemas.android.com/tools”>
<application android:usesCleartextTraffic=“true” tools:targetApi=“28”>
Please add above content in android manifest .xml file
Previous Versions of ionic
Make sure you have the following in your config.xml in Ionic Project:
<edit-config file="app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml" mode="merge" target="/manifest/application" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<application android:networkSecurityConfig="#xml/network_security_config" />
<application android:usesCleartextTraffic="true" />
</edit-config>
Run ionic Cordova build android. It creates Android folder under Platforms
Open Android Studio and open the Android folder present in our project
project-platforms-android. Leave it for few minutes so that it builds the gradle
After gradle build is finished we get some errors for including minSdVersion in manifest.xml.
Now what we do is just remove <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="19" /> from manifest.xml.
Make sure its removed from both the locations:
app → manifests → AndroidManifest.xml.
CordovaLib → manifests → AndroidManifest.xml.
Now try to build the gradle again and now it builds successfully
Make sure you have the following in Application tag in App → manifest → Androidmanifest.xml:
<application
android:networkSecurityConfig="#xml/network_security_config" android:usesCleartextTraffic="true" >
Open network_security_config (app → res → xml → network_security_config.xml).
Add the following code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
<domain-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
<domain includeSubdomains="true">xxx.yyyy.com</domain>
</domain-config>
</network-security-config>
Here xxx.yyyy.com is the link of your HTTP API. Make sure you don't include any Http before the URL.
Note: Now build the app using Android Studio (Build -- Build Bundle's/APK -- Build APK) and now you can use that App and it works fine in Android Pie. If you try to build app using ionic Cordova build android it overrides all these settings so make sure you use Android Studio to build the Project.
If you have any older versions of app installed, Uninstall them and give a try or else you will be left with some error:
App not Installed
Create file - res / xml / network_security.xml
In network_security.xml ->
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
<domain-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
<domain includeSubdomains="true">192.168.0.101</domain>
</domain-config>
</network-security-config>
Open AndroidManifests.xml :
android:usesCleartextTraffic="true" //Add this line in your manifests
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:roundIcon="#mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">
cleartext support is disabled by default.Android in 9 and above
Try This one I hope It will work fine
1 Step:-> add inside android build gradle (Module:App)
useLibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy'
android {

}
Then 2 Step:-> manifest
add inside manifest application tag
<application

</network-security-config>
Put following into your resources/android/xml/network_security_config.xml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
<base-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true" />
</network-security-config>
This solves Failed to load resource: net::ERR_CLEARTEXT_NOT_PERMITTED problem on Android for Cordova / Ionic.
I would suggest to add both dev and prod network configs:
add res/xml/network_security_config_dev.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
<domain-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
<domain includeSubdomains="true">10.0.2.2</domain>
</domain-config>
</network-security-config>
addres/xml/network_security_config_prod.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
<domain-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="false">
<domain includeSubdomains="true">yourdomain.com</domain>
</domain-config>
</network-security-config>
under Gradle Scripts (in android studio), find build.gradle (android.app) and look for buildTypes: release and debug (create if not exists):
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
manifestPlaceholders.securityConfig = "#xml/network_security_config_prod"
}
debug {
manifestPlaceholders.securityConfig = "#xml/network_security_config_dev"
}
}
in AndroidManifest.xml use securityConfig placeholder as following (which was defined in build.gradle):
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:roundIcon="#mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:networkSecurityConfig="${securityConfig}" <------- here
Just add android:usesCleartextTraffic="true" inside the in AndroidManifest.xml file
In my case that URL is not working in browser also.
I check with https://www.google.com/
webView.loadUrl("https://www.google.com/")
And it worked for me.
For Xamarin.Android developers make sure HttpClient implementation and SSL/TLS is set to Default.
It can be found under Andorid Options -> Advanced Android Options.
This is done for security reasons, you should always prefer to use HTTPS (HTTP Secure) where possible.
You can read more about it here
There are multiple solutions for this issue depending on your condition.
If you are trying to communicate with a first party service, IE: your own web server
Server side: You should add HTTPS support to that server and use HTTPS instead of HTTP. These days you can even do it for free using services like LetsEncrypt and others
Client side: If you are using the HttpURLConnection from the java.net package you can switch to HttpsURLConnection of the java.net.ssl package, it has a similar if not identical API, so the switch should be effortless.
If you are using a third party service, like Google, Facebook, a weather service, etc.
In case that the service you are communicating with supports HTTPS (which it most likely does) you can just change your request URL from http://abc.xyz to https://abc.xyz.
As a last resort, if the third party service that you want to communicate with does not support HTTPS or any other form of secure communication, you can use this answer, but again, this is not recommended as it defeats the purpose of this much needed security feature.
If you are using ionic and getting this error during native http plugin, following fix needs to be done-
goto resources/android/xml/network_security_config.xml
Change it to-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
<domain-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
<domain includeSubdomains="true">localhost</domain>
<domain includeSubdomains="true">api.example.com(to be adjusted)</domain>
</domain-config>
</network-security-config>
That worked for me!
I using Cordova 8 with cordova-plugin-whitelist 1.3.4
and it default configuration my app no access to internet and i only add a parameter in the manifest.xml -> android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"

Upgrade to React Native 0.58.5 or higher version.
They have includeSubdomain in their config files in RN 0.58.5.
ChangeLog
In Rn 0.58.5 they have declared network_security_config with their server domain. Network security configuration allows an app to permit cleartext traffic from a certain domain. So no need to put extra effort by declaring android:usesCleartextTraffic="true" in the application tag of your manifest file. It will be resolved automatically after upgrading the RN Version.
After changed API version 9.0 getting the error Cleartext HTTP traffic to YOUR-API.DOMAIN.COM not permitted (targetSdkVersion="28"). in xamarin, xamarin.android and android studio.
Two steps to solve this error in xamarin, xamarin.android and android studio.
Step 1: Create file resources/xml/network_security_config.xml
In network_security_config.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<network-security-config>
<domain-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
<domain includeSubdomains="true">mobapi.3detrack.in</domain>
</domain-config>
</network-security-config>
Step 2: update AndroidManifest.xml -
Add android:networkSecurityConfig="#xml/network_security_config" on application tag.
e.g:
<application android:label="your App Name" android:icon="#drawable/icon" android:networkSecurityConfig="#xml/network_security_config">
I am building an Android application which is using socket.io.
I have updated it to use the sdk 28. It works fine on browser but not in the real device or emulator.
The AndroidManifest.xml file contains the following:
<application android:hardwareAccelerated="true" android:icon="#mipmap/icon"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:networkSecurityConfig="#xml/network_security_config"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:usesCleartextTraffic="true">
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="19" android:targetSdkVersion="28" />
network_security_config.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
<domain-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="false">
<domain includeSubdomains="true">mysocketdomain.com</domain>
</domain-config>
</network-security-config>
There is no way to downgrade the sdk since Google is not accepting apps using sdk below 28.
What the heck is goin on? I've read some issues related to this and no solution has worked at all...
Also, it is not a problem with the socket not any other code, since when I load the app via browser it connects immediately to the socket and I've tested socket sending messages, the browser is receiving. The real device, no.
It was a mistake of mine. Instead of false, it should be true, as following. The website should also be a domain and not an IP, making these changes, the socket in the device is working again.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
<domain-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
<domain includeSubdomains="true">mysocketdomain.com</domain>
</domain-config>
</network-security-config>
I made a game using Unity for Android versions >= 6.0. The game runs well in versions < 9.0, but I have a problem with my Unity Game in Android 9.0.
I explain what happens:
When the game starts for the first time, the player must login or sign up in the game (connecting with the database in the server). But in 9.0, when you run the game and choose one of those 2 options and touch the button to login/sing up, a message (which I made to notify the user that game cannot connect to the server because a network problem) appears.
What can be the cause of the problem? Maybe it is because of network permissions in Android 9.0?
Pd: I'm using http to connect to server.
Looking Google Console, I have 3 warnings:
The following APIs are on a gray list and Google cannot guarantee that they work on the available versions of Android. It is possible that some of them are restricted in your target SDK.
Google Play Console warnings
This can be the problem because the game cannot do a request to the server?
I also had same problem. I solved problem using below code
create new file network_security_config.xml under xml resource directory.
network_security_config.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
<base-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
<trust-anchors>
<certificates src="system" />
</trust-anchors>
</base-config>
</network-security-config>
And in AndroidManifest.xml file
<application
..............
android:networkSecurityConfig="#xml/network_security_config"
....... />
</application>
