Some applications don't like user downloaded certificates, so in order to inspect web traffic for some apps we actually have to decompile the application & add a few things & recompile it.
# Automatic
The tool [**https://github.com/shroudedcode/apk-mitm**](https://github.com/shroudedcode/apk-mitm) will **automatically** make the necessary changes to the application to start capturing the requests and will also disable certificate pinning (if any).
# Manual
First we decompile the app: `apktool d *file-name*.apk`
Then we go into the **Manifest.xml** file & scroll down to the `<\application android>` tag & we are going to add the following line if it isn't already there:
`android:networkSecurityConfig="@xml/network_security_config`
Before adding:
After adding:
Now go into the **res/xml** folder & create/modify a file named network\_security\_config.xml with the following contents:
```markup
```
Then save the file & back out of all the directories & rebuild the apk with the following command: `apktool b *folder-name/* -o *output-file.apk*`
Finally, you need just to **sign the new application**. [Read this section of the page Smali - Decompiling/\[Modifying\]/Compiling to learn how to sign it](smali-changes.md#sing-the-new-apk).
