The short collection of fast steps about setup HTTP Proxying for iOS and Android development with Xamarin.

Charles Proxy

If you use the native (AndroidClientHandler, NSUrlSession) HTTP handler, then nothing needs to be done.
If you use HTTP handler by default (managed), follow above:

Setup the proxy with a custom HttpClientHandler:

var handler = new HttpClientHandler
{
    // local ip, charles port
    Proxy = new WebProxy("192.168.0.52", 8888)
};

Then use it whenever you create an HttpClient in your app:

var client = new HttpClient(handler);

// TODO: make some requests to test charles!
