Traffic from Android Emulator not showing
Description
I've used the automatic script to install the Proxyman certificate on my Android Emulator (Android Studio). It seemed to work, and when I start testing my app (Android TV app), I do see the call coming through.

However Proxyman is showing error code 999.
I'm not sure whether the issue with su above is important?...
Part of the issue is that Android TV does not seem to expose System settings so that I can see whether the certificate was correctly installed.
Environment
- App version: 5.19.0
- macOS version: macOS Sequoia
I'm not sure whether the issue with su above is important?...
No, it's not. It just tried a few command lines, and the last one was successful

I haven't tested with any Android TV Emulator.
What TV Android Emulator version are you using? Is it a non-Play Store version?
Not entirely sure (I'm not super-familiar with this). I don't know if the following screenshot helps?
Having the same issue on Android TV simulators. I do see all calls coming through, but can't manage to make the certificate work.. always getting SSL handshake errors.
@alarochelle may I ask if Proxyman can intercept your Android app on Android Emulator? but it doesn't work with TV Emulators, right?
and what TV Emulator version you're using on Android Sutdio?

Yes, it does work properly on an Android app on Android emulator, tried on a Pixel 6 API 34 (Android 14.0 | arm64).
TV Emulator I'm using is these, I tried both (API 34 Android TV and Google TV, Google APIs):
Tried, but I can't make it works. It seems Proxyman scripts don't work on Emulator TV because it has a different certificate store path.
Unable to make it work on Emulator Pixel_9_Pro_XL using Android version 16
Android Emulator Pixel 9 Pro XL is a Google Play store version. Proxyman Automatic Script for Android Emulator can't work with this device.
You should create new Emulator that isn't a Google Play Store. It will work
@SAGARSURI Did it work? I tried both Google APIs and Google Play Store. It doesn't work for me. Pixel 9 API 36
@JustKhit is your app a native Android (Kotlin or Java), or React Native or Flutter?
FYI, this beta build https://github.com/ProxymanApp/Proxyman/issues/2479#issuecomment-3313336595 will make it clear that it's a Google Play Store Android Emulator version.

Hi, it's a native app running on android emulator.
no, I mean the Android app that you need to capture HTTPS traffic on your Emulators.
Here is the demo that we've made today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWInB7gZj6g

Sorry. Updated. It's a native app.
ok, Pixel 9 Google Store Emulator it's a problem. It's Google Play version.
Please create Pixel 6 with Google APIs, it will work. Google Play Store/Play version is locked, and it's not possible to run the script
I re-installed Proxyman and create a new emulator, Pixel 9 Pro API 36.1 Google APIs. I couldn't make a network request in the app.
Everything seems setting up properly
Screenshot from terminal script installation.
Making a request in the app, simple login request.
ok,
Pixel 9 Google Store Emulatorit's a problem. It's Google Play version.Please create Pixel 6 with Google APIs, it will work. Google Play Store/Play version is locked, and it's not possible to run the script
Does it have to be Pixel 6? I think I've been using Pixel 9 and it was working fine.
Pixel 9 with Google APIs 36 is fine too. I tested it.
if the script is successful, can you open this Emulators -> Settings -> Security & Privacy -> More Security -> Encryption & Credential -> Trust Cridential -> System Tab -> Verify if you can see Proxyman LLC is ON here?
Your error mean the app rejects Proxyman certificate.
okay, so everything is set up correctly. The last issue is your app. For some reason, your app rejects the Proxyman certificate, so you get an SSL Error.
You can test it by opening Google Chrome on your emulator -> Visit www.google.com
and you will see this HTTPS data on Proxyman.
Maybe your app has some logic to reject self-signed certificate. Please find it and disable it.
Or you can share with me what network library you're using? is it okhttp?
That's right. Accessing google.com is fine. It's probably some configurations on my app.
The app is using Retrofit and Okhttp for networking, and it does have network security config setup.
The network request was working again after I Revert All Changes in Proxyman -> Certificate -> Install Certificate on Android -> Emulators... then stopped working again after I Override All Emulators.

Thanks for looking in to the issue.
@JustKhit can you follow the 5th step to set up your xml file like this screenshot? https://docs.proxyman.com/debug-devices/android-device
@JustKhit I found your issue: You have turst-anchor settings, so it only accepts these certificates. Otherwise, you will get SSL Errors.
To fix it, just remove these settings

You're right. It works after removing them out. Thinking about removing them from my app production too. Thanks @NghiaTranUIT !
