why the previous version devices are working?
Previous versions devices like : Kitkat,Lolipop allow Android to trusts user or admin supplied CA certificates. Means In Old versions Android trust both user or root certificate.So, In Older Devices You have to only install burp certificate , and you can capture android application traffic , but In Newer version it is not possible.
For Capturing traffic on newer version device , requirements are given below:
1 . device must be rooted.
You can us magisk or any other method to root the device. but for my point of view magisk is best one.

You know very well that Newer Version device only trust root certificate not trust user certificate. so we have to put our certificate in root certificate .
1. install the certificate. (defaultly certficate as user certificate )
path: /data/misc/user/0/cacerts-added
2. copy your certificate path .
3. Go to root certifcate directory: /system/etc/security/cacerts
4. Now write mount -o rw, remount / and hit enter
5.If no error occured then allthing is going good.
6. now move certificate from user certificate directory to root certificate directory.

EVERYTHING IS DONE/, NOW YOU CAN CAPTURE TRAFFIC
