Monitoring App doesn't work due to "Cleartext HTTP traffic to localhost not permitted" error

[bilck]

I'm having issues using the monitoring app, I'm getting the following error: java.io.IOException: Cleartext HTTP traffic to localhost not permitted

I have already added android:usesCleartextTraffic="true" to the main AndroidManifest.xml file. I have also added android:networkSecurityConfig="@xml/network_security_config" to it.

Assets/Plugins/Android/res/xml/network_security_config.xml file content is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
    <!-- Reference: https://forum.unity.com/threads/android-9-cleartext-http-traffic-to-my_ip-not-permitted.594298/#post-7215685 -->          
    <domain-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
        <!-- For Android Performance Tuner data monitoring application https://developer.android.com/codelabs/android-performance-tuner-unity?hl=pt-br#7 -->
        <domain includeSubdomains="false">localhost</domain>
    </domain-config>
</network-security-config>

What am I doing wrong? Even though I performed all these steps, I still get the following error:

Hello @bilck, can I ask you whether you have Internet Access set to Require under Player Settings > Other Settings? Also, could you please post the parts of your manifest in which you specify the permissions? Please remove any personal/sensitive info from those parts :)

Thanks!

It worked after I replace network_security_config.xml to this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <base-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true"></base-config>
</network-security-config>
