I'm trying to use charles SSL proxying on my Huawei Honor Bee phone. When I try to install the certificate from charlesproxy.com/getssl, I get an error toast saying, "Couldn't install because the certificate file couldn't be read". I've tried on different browsers, but no luck. How can I install the charles certificate? Please help.

Thanks
