Using the latest version of Transport Layer Security (TLS)is important to ensure application network communications are secure.

Warning

April, 2018 – Due to increased security requirements, including PCI compliance, major cloud providers and web servers are expected to stop supporting TLS versions older than 1.2. Xamarin projects created in previous versions of Visual Studio default to use older versions of TLS.

In order to ensure your apps continue to work with these servers and services, you should update your Xamarin projects to use the settings below, then re-build and re-deploy your apps to your users.

Projects must reference the System.Net.Http assembly and be configured as shown below.

Update Xamarin.Android to TLS 1.2

Update the HttpClient implementation and SSL/TLS implementation options to enable TLS 1.2 security.

These settings can be found in Project Properties > Android Options and then clicking on the Advanced button:

Animal Magnetism contained classics such as ' and 'Make It Real'. Scorpions virgin killer 1976 rare. He required surgery on his vocal cords and doubts were raised about whether he would ever sing again.Meanwhile, the band began working on their next album, in 1981. However, in April 1979, during their tour in France, Michael quit and Jabs was brought in permanently to replace him.In 1980, the band released, again with a provocative cover this time showing a girl kneeling and a Doberman Pinscher sitting in front of a man. Soon after the album's release, Meine began experiencing throat problems.

These settings can be found in Project Options > Build > Android Build tab:

Update Xamarin.iOS to TLS 1.2

Update the HttpClient Implementation option to enable TSL 1.2 security.

This setting can be found in Project Properties > iOS Build:

This setting can be found in Project Options > Build > iOS Build tab:

Update Xamarin.Mac to TLS 1.2

In Visual Studio for Mac, to enable TLS 1.2 in a Xamarin.Mac app, update theHttpClient Implementation option in Project Options > Build > Mac Build:

Warning

The upcoming Xamarin.Mac 4.8 release will only support macOS 10.9 or higher.Previous versions of Xamarin.Mac supported macOS 10.7 or higher, butthese older macOS versions lack sufficient TLS infrastructure to supportTLS 1.2. To target macOS 10.7 or macOS 10.8, use Xamarin.Mac 4.6 orearlier.

Alternative configuration options

This section discusses alternatives to the TLS 1.2-supported configurations shown above.Application developers should only consider these alternatives if they understand the risksof using different levels of TLS support.

HttpClient implementation

Xamarin developers have always been able to use the native networking classesin their code, however there is also an option that determines which networkingstack is used by the HttpClient classes. This provides a familiar .NET APIthat has the speed and security advantages of the native platform.

The options are:

• Managed stack – the Mono-provided network functionality, or
• Native stack – various networking APIs provided by the underlyingplatforms (Android, iOS, or macOS).

The managed stack provides the highest level of compatibility with existing.NET code, however it can be slower and result in larger executable size.

The native options can be faster and have better security (including TLS 1.2),but may not provide all the functionality and options of the HttpClient class.

SSL/TLS implementation (Android)

Android project options also let you choose which SSL/TLS implementation to support:

• Mono/Managed – TLS 1.1 on Android
• Native – TLS 1.2 on Android.

New Xamarin projects default to the native implementation thatsupports TLS 1.2 (which is recommended for all projects),however you can switch back to the managed code if required for compatibility reasons.

Important

The Mono/Managed option has been removed from iOS and Mac project options.

The Native option is always used on iOS and Mac platforms.

Platform-specific details

The above summary explains the project-level settings for HttpClientand SSL/TLS implementation in Xamarin Projects. The HttpClient implementationcan also be set dynamically in code. Refer to these platform-specific guides for more information:

Summary

Applications should use Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.2 wherever possible.You should update the settings in existing applications according to the instructionsin this article, then re-build and re-deploy to your customers.
