CLEARTEXT communication not permitted by network security policy working on my mobile

Question

I am building an APP, and facing CLEARTEXT communication not permitted by network security policy error on my friend mobile (I am just testing it on anther mobile). of course i am not able to trace the problem as the application is working OK on my mobile (without USB debugging), I download it from google play.

I did all needed to resolve this problem by adding android:usesCleartextTraffic="true" to application tag in AndroidManifest.xml also I added android:networkSecurityConfig="@xml/network_security_config"

my config XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
  <network-security-config>
      <domain-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
      <domain includeSubdomains="true">MY IP</domain>
  </domain-config>
</network-security-config>

Its still not working. I cannot trace the problem on my mobile because its working. Why i am not getting the same error as my friend mobile???

I want it to give me same error on my mobile to be able to trace the problem. I removed all the above options and it still working on my mobile. It was even working before I added any thing as I only discovered the problem after Installed on my friend mobile.

Solution 1

If you use Http instead of Https in your api url, then just add this line in AndroidManifest.xml in <application> tag.

android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"

It will solve your problem

Solution 2

I had the same problem with react-native project. I get resolved the issue with this article, putting the domain name of my hosting provider.

• Create res/xml/network_security_config.xml with content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
    <domain-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
        <domain includeSubdomains="true">my-domain-name.com</domain>
    </domain-config>
</network-security-config>

• Point to this file from your manifest (for bonus points add it only for the test manifest):

<application
  android:networkSecurityConfig="@xml/network_security_config"
  android:label="@string/app_name"
  android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
     <activity android:name=" (...)
</application>

ok, but whats the point of introducing such a feature by google except complicate dev life
