Xamarin azure integration problem

Question

Hello everyone

I have an issue

I have a backend in azure, I did a little console application to test it out

using AzureTest;
using Newtonsoft.Json;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Net.Http;

const string Url = "http://xamxontacts.azurewebsites.net/tables/contact?ZUMO-API-VERSION=2.0.0";

using (HttpClient client = new HttpClient()) {

var request = await client.GetAsync(Url);
if (request.IsSuccessStatusCode) {

    var content = await request.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
    var res = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<Contacts.Contact>>(content);

    foreach (var item in res) {

        Console.WriteLine(item.name);
    }
}

}

but when I go to my Xamarin app, I cannot retrieve anything or post or update or do anything

Hello,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

I test your code and got the error below

The error happens because From Android 9 Http is treated as insecure connection, to enable it we need to modify the config in android project .

Workaround

Add [assembly:Application(UsesCleartextTraffic =true)] in AssemblyInfo.cs .
