Is it possible to use JMeter to record actions using a mobile device? If so, how would you go about doing it?

Yes, JMeter can also record HTTP or HTTPS requests sent to the server through your mobile application. Mobile and JMeter must be connected to the same network.

The following is the needed configuration :

* In JMeter, set your proxy server to run on a specific port.
* Set up the proxy on your phone's wifi settings and use the same port number as the recorder.
* On your mobile device, install the Root CA certificate.
* From your mobile, send server requests and watch them get captured by the selected controller.
