 A Flutter plugin for getting user installed certificates on Android.
 
+This is useful for working around the limitation that Dart's HttpClient doesn't
+honor user installed certificates on Android. See:

 ## Getting Started

+## Note about native Android HTTP
+
+The above example only affects HTTP calls with Dart's
+[http](https://pub.dev/packages/http) library. If you (or some library you
+depend on) are using `javax.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection` or
+[Cronet](https://pub.dev/packages/cronet_http), then you will also need a
+`<network-security-config>` that adds user certificates as a trust anchor.
+
+`android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml`:
+
+```xml
+<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" ...>
+  <application ... android:networkSecurityConfig="@xml/network_security_config">
+  ...
+</manifest>
+```
+
+`android/app/src/main/res/xml/network_security_config.xml`:
+
+```xml
+<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
+<network-security-config>
+  <base-config>
+    <trust-anchors>
+      <certificates src="system"/>
+      <certificates src="user"/>
+    </trust-anchors>
+  </base-config>
+</network-security-config>
+```
