What you actually need is an application class and you can then do this there,

Add a class that inherits from the Android Application class and then do something like below and it should work for you

[Application(UsesCleartextTraffic = true)]
public class MainApplication: Application
{

but isnt MainActivity the starter – user11674638 Jul 10 '19 at 07:00
Yes but an application class is not a starter it is just the application-level configuration that you want – FreakyAli Jul 10 '19 at 07:38
in github I have read that many similar aplication manifest attributes are not yet implemented. And i think it might take a while. Can u provide me with the same code. – user11674638 Jul 11 '19 at 08:39
Provide you with the same code? I am unable to understand what exactly do you want from me! – FreakyAli Jul 11 '19 at 09:50

In the shared project you should have the AssemblyInfo.cs file. Add the following line at the end of the file:

[assembly: Application(UsesCleartextTraffic = true)]

Let us know please if it worked for you, thanks.
