How to allow all Network connection types HTTP and HTTPS in Android 9 Pie

Question

From Android 9 Pie now  requests without encryption will never work  And by default  the System will expect you to use TLS by default You can read this feature here So if you only make requests via HTTPS you are safe  But what about apps that make requests through different sites  for instance  browser-like apps   How can I enable requests to all types of connections HTTP and HTTPS in Android 9 Pie

You may check if you are sending clearText through HTTP Fix   https   medium com  son rommer fix-cleartext-traffic-error-in-android-9-pie-2f4e9e2235e6   OR  In the Case of  Apache HTTP client deprecation   From Google     With Android 6 0  we removed support for the Apache HTTP client  Beginning with Android 9  that library is removed from the bootclasspath and is not available to apps by default  To continue using the Apache HTTP client  apps that target Android 9 and above can add the following to their AndroidManifest xml     Source  https   developer android com about versions pie android-9 0-changes-28

Easy Way  Add usesCleartextTraffic to AndroidManifest xml    lt application     android usesCleartextTraffic  true      gt    Indicates whether the app intends to use cleartext network traffic  such as cleartext HTTP  The default value for apps that target API level 27 or lower is  true   Apps that target API level 28 or higher default to  false

For React Native applications while running in debug add the xml block mentioned by  Xenolion to react native config xml located in  lt project gt  android app src debug res xml  Similar to the following snippet    lt  xml version  1 0  encoding  utf-8   gt   lt network-security-config gt       lt domain-config cleartextTrafficPermitted  true  gt           lt domain includeSubdomains  false  gt localhost lt  domain gt           lt domain includeSubdomains  false  gt 10 0 2 2 lt  domain gt           lt domain includeSubdomains  false  gt 10 0 3 2 lt  domain gt       lt  domain-config gt       lt base-config cleartextTrafficPermitted  true  gt           lt trust-anchors gt               lt certificates src  system    gt           lt  trust-anchors gt       lt  base-config gt   lt  network-security-config gt

The easy way to implement this is to use this attribute to your AndroidManifest xml where you allow all http for all requests    lt application android usesCleartextTraffic  true  gt   lt  application gt    But in case you want some more configurations for different links for instance  allowing http for some domains but not other domains you must provide res xml networkSecurityConfig xml file   To do this in Android 9 Pie you will have to set a networkSecurityConfig in your Manifest application tag like this    lt  xml version  1 0  encoding  utf-8   gt   lt manifest      gt       lt application android networkSecurityConfig   xml network security config  gt           lt  application gt   lt  manifest gt    Then in your xml folder you now have to create a file named network security config just like the way you have named it in the Manifest and from there the content of your file should be like this to enable all requests without encryptions    lt  xml version  1 0  encoding  utf-8   gt   lt network-security-config gt       lt base-config cleartextTrafficPermitted  true  gt           lt trust-anchors gt               lt certificates src  system    gt           lt  trust-anchors gt       lt  base-config gt   lt  network-security-config gt    From there you are good to go  Now your app will make requests for all types of connections  For additional information on this topic read here

i got the same problem and i notice that my security config has diferent TAGS like the  Xenolion answer says   lt network-security-config gt       lt domain-config cleartextTrafficPermitted  true  gt           lt domain includeSubdomains  true  gt localhost lt  domain gt       lt  domain-config gt   lt  network-security-config gt    so i change the TAGS  domain-config  for  base-config  and works  like this    lt network-security-config gt       lt base-config cleartextTrafficPermitted  true  gt           lt domain includeSubdomains  true  gt localhost lt  domain gt       lt  base-config gt   lt  network-security-config gt
