When developing a small Xamarin forms app I wanted the android emulator to connect to an intranet identity provider. That didn’t work. The id server was using an SSL certificate issued by an untrusted CA. Here’s what I did to get it working.

Well, I reinstalled Visual Studio for Mac, and created a new emulator using the Visual Studio Device Manager, started the emulator from Visual Studio Device Manager and it works now. Hi @Krumelur, I do not seem to be able to get an IP for an Android Studio based emulator (or started via emulator -avd command in terminal), Android Player from xamarin provides this as I think Genymotion does. Mar 31, 2021 For Xamarin you need Xcode, iOS Simulators, Xcode CLI, Android SDK, Android Emulators, Visual Studio for Mac, Mono, Xamarin.iOS & Xamarin.Android SDK, and all the things that come with it. Lots of things that need to be updated.

First, you will need the CA certificate so android can trust the SSL cert. If you don’t have the cert, you can export it using Chrome on mac or Chrome on windows:

Next, push the .cer to the emulator using adb push command. Note that even though I’m pushing the cert to the sdcard it actually shows in a different location. I’m not sure why my emulator is doing that but I’ve seen others that work just fine. Just make sure to search in all folders when installing the cert in the emulator.

Before installing the certificate, you will need to enable device lockscreen security. Finally, install the certificate using Settings app:

Importing certificate to Android Emulator

After import, you can check your certs in User credentials under Encryption & credentials and more importantly, navigate to the SSL site without errors.
