Use AVD Manager UICC (SIM) Certificate to sign APK

Question

My goal is to test VoLTE (voice-over-LTE) settings on Android 6.0, and to do so I have to use CarrierConfig & TelephonyManager APIs.

These APIs requires Carrier authentication-level, it means : signing app with one of the certificate authorized into the ACL (Access Control List) of the UICC (a.k.a SIM card for casuals, but in reality, SIMs are stored into the UICC).

I have read that the AVD Manager possess it's own simulated UICC, and I can see some SIM info into the virtual device. I need to be able to :

• Either add a key into the ACL of the UICC (which is apparently doable OTA (over-the-air) from this post : Sign App with UICC Carrier Privileges Certificates )
• Either get an existing key and certificate which is authorized in the UICC, and sign my app with it.

The second option seems easier, but in both case I can not find good information.

Thank you very much for your enlightenment on this subject !

EDIT :

I also found this subject : https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/111928/how-to-change-original-unchangeable-iccid-sim-card-serial-from-an-avd but it basically lead to a blog I've checked before (to change SIM Serial Number, IMEI and IMSI) and the AVDManager source code is not available anymore.

Did you solve your problem and if so could you share solution? I also need to use getIccAuthentication() method of TelephonyManager and app needs UICC Carrier privileges. How to get these from AVD? – Muzzle

@Sypher I am working on similar case, Let us know if you were able to find any solutions – Rawdin

unfortunatly, I didn't solved the issue and it's been a while since I've worked on it. I'm not 100% sure to remember, but I think I couldn't test the settings with a custom app, but only checks for the settings support configuration directly in source code of the phone ROMs. – Sypher

@Sypher Thanks for the reply man, I really appreciate that. – Rawdin
