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.

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:
Launch Terminal Emulator for Android, and type the following command: su. This will get you superuser access on your Android device. You will require a rooted device for this. Next, type: ifconfig interfacename hw ether newmacaddress Hit enter, and your MAC address will have changed. You can confirm the change in your MAC address,. Android is a big platform which has many apps that are not present in Computers or other OS. So to enjoy all the apps and games on other OS emulator is the solution for this.

Exporting certificate using chrome
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.
