Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ProxymanApp/Proxyman/issues/657

Originally assigned to: @NghiaTranUIT on GitHub.

Description

As a title, it's possible to use ADB to:

Change the HTTP Proxy
Install and trust Proxyman Certificate

all in one click ✅

We should support it as soon as possible since it's painful when manually installing the certificate in Android Emulators.

Acceptance Criteria

Add UI for Certificate Installation for Android Emulator
Detect if the user hasn't opened any Emulator yet or the Emulator is not Google APIs
Write a script to use ADB
Write Documentation in case the script doesn't work

Hello! When I click "Override Emulator," the Terminal launches, but nothing else happens. This is on macOS Big Sur 11.1. I confirmed that adb is installed and launches from the command line. Any ideas?

@jsharp80

Can you help me to run the following CLIs on your Terminal?

Check the directory of adb

$ which adb

=> It should be at /usr/local/bin/adb

Open Proxyman and Run the script manually and share with me the output.

Please release 192.168.0.1 with your actual IP (You can find it by navigating to Certificate Menu -> Install on iOS -> Physical Device -> Get the IP)

$ bash /Applications/Proxyman.app/Contents/Frameworks/ProxymanCore.framework/Resources/install_certificate_android_emulator.sh all 192.168.0.1 9090 ~/.proxyman/proxyman-ca.pem

@NghiaTranUIT - Thanks for the quick reply!

adb is in the correct location - /usr/local/bin/adb

The first time I ran the script, I received the following output:

Checking adb command...
Found at: /usr/local/bin/adb
1. Checking Android Emulators Status...
[ERROR] There are many running Android Emulators!!!
Please close other and keep ONE Android Emulator!

This happened because I also had a physical Android device connected that I use for debugging. After disconnecting it, the script ran as expected and I saw the expected results in Proxyman.

Neither the "override emulator" nor "revert override" scripts execute automatically. The buttons open a zsh Terminal and seem to stop there. That's fine, though, I can execute the scripts manually.

@jsharp80 Please help me to open System Preference -> Security -> Privacy Tab -> Click on Automation and verify whether or not you're granting the Proxyman app?

Proxyman uses Apple Script (Automation) to execute the script, so if we don't allow it, it might cause your problem.

=> Turn it ON and try again.

Meanwhile, I will add a button to show future users to manually execute the script if it's failed 👍

@jsharp80 good news: I'm able to reproduce your bug. Just turn OFF the Automation permission.

I'm fixing it now: To show the alert if the permission doesn't grant 👍

@NghiaTranUIT Hi, just a small feedback, I was first using it on an emulator with Google Play Store, and the bash output wasn't clear since it was passing every step to a final success, which was wrong. On step 5 in the bash script, we should check if the command L103 works and exit if it doesn't IMO, would be more clear that it doesn't succeed.
