Running this project

About NukeSSLCerts.java

When you access a website through https, the server will send an SSL certificate to the browser for it to verify. We are using self-signed certificates, which will not be trusted by Android applications by default. The application will throw exceptions once it receives such certificate. NukeSSLCerts.java allows us to bypass SSL by accepting all certificates. If you want to learn more about this, see this blog
