I'm not aware of any current issues with SSL, in that our tests check for
accessing an HTTPS site:
https://github.com/xamarin/monodroid-samples/blob/master/SanityTests/Hello.cs#L720
However, it does require that Android accept the SSL certificates that your
site is using. A good way to check this is to open Android's Browser and go to
your HTTPS site: if Browser shows a dialog asking you to accept the
certificate, then it will NOT work as-is in Mono for Android.
If you need to accept "arbitrary" certificates, you should instead use the
ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback property to manually
validate the SSL certificate and accept or deny it:
http://androidapi.xamarin.com/?link=P%3aSystem.Net.ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback
Thanks,
