How to record mobile application using jmeter?

Question

I need to do load testing of my mobile application. I am using android mobile. while i am trying to record the script using Jmeter nothing is getting recorded. I had followed this process to record: I had installed the rootCA certificate on my mobile I had given proxy same as in the jmeter and ip address with respect to my system ip My mobile and laptop are under same wifi network

Although I am unable to record when I checked in log viewer "Ensure browser is set to accept the jmeter proxy cert: Received fatal alert: certificate_unknown" this is the error message I got. And in mobile I am getting "session expired ! try again" message ... I even modified the source code.

Plz help me guys

What operating system does your "mobile" run?

• For iOS you need to turn on "ENABLE FULL TRUST FOR ROOT CERTIFICATES" toggle under Settings -> General -> About -> Certificate Trust Settings

  

• For Android you need to add the next section to your network_security_config.xml file:

   <base-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
       <trust-anchors>
           <certificates src="system" />
           <certificates src="user" />
       </trust-anchors> 
   </base-config>
  

  In case if you don't have access to application source code you will need to root your Android device

• If you have another mobile operating system - refer to its documentation.
