How can I set SignalR in Android Studio to ignore SSL issues for delvelopement

If just for development, I think you can refer the following code (available in SO):

public class HttpsTrustManager implements X509TrustManager {
    private static TrustManager[] trustManagers;
    private static final X509Certificate[] _AcceptedIssuers = new X509Certificate[] {};

    @Override
    public void checkClientTrusted(
        X509Certificate[] x509Certificates, String s)
    throws java.security.cert.CertificateException {}

    @Override
    public void checkServerTrusted(
        X509Certificate[] x509Certificates, String s)
    throws java.security.cert.CertificateException {}

    public boolean isClientTrusted(X509Certificate[] chain) {
        return true;
    }

    public boolean isServerTrusted(X509Certificate[] chain) {
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public X509Certificate[] getAcceptedIssuers() {
        return _AcceptedIssuers;
    }

    public static void allowAllSSL() {
        HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultHostnameVerifier(new HostnameVerifier() {

            @Override
            public boolean verify(String arg0, SSLSession arg1) {
                return true;
            }

        });

        SSLContext context = null;
        if (trustManagers == null) {
            trustManagers = new TrustManager[] {
                new HttpsTrustManager()
            };
        }

        try {
            context = SSLContext.getInstance("TLS");
            context.init(null, trustManagers, new SecureRandom());
        } catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException | KeyManagementException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultSSLSocketFactory(context != null ? context.getSocketFactory() : null);
    }
}

Then in your Activity, call HttpsTrustManager.allowAllSSL(); before SignalR methods call.
