Answer 1

You need to install JMeter's self-signed certificate onto your "mobile" device, the file is called ApacheJMeterTemporaryRootCA.crt and it's generated in "bin" folder of your JMeter installation when you start HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder

Once done depending on your "mobile" operating system:

• iOS: enable full trust for root certificates

  

• Android: amend network_security_config.xml file like this:

   <base-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
       <trust-anchors>
           <certificates src="system" />
           <certificates src="user" />
       </trust-anchors> 
   </base-config>
  

  then re-build your "mobile app" in debug mode and replace the version installed on the device
