★★☆☆☆
Cannot get it to work on rooted Android 11 on a Google Pixel 4 XL (Coral). Despite the problems others have run into, I found the certs in /data/user/0/com.guoshi.httpcanary.premium/cache (.p12 cert pass is "HttpCanary") and I installed them as both system and user certs to no avail, across multiple restarts and different little tweaks. The system CA manager recognizes them as valid, so this *should* work. Pretty lame :'(
★★☆☆☆
