### What did you do?
I have prepared a repository with a Visual Studio for you to test here: https://github.com/czmirek/maui_droid_linuxazapp_grpc_bug
- Create an Linux Azure WebApp for .NET 7
- Configure the web app to enable gRPC
- Add env variable **HTTP20_ONLY_PORT = 8585**
- Set **Http Version = 2.0**
- Set **Http 2.0 Proxy = On**
- Deply project *GrpcWebApi* on the WebApp.
- Get the webapp URL from Azure Portal and replace the string in `MainPage.xaml.cs`
- `const string testUrl = "https://YOURAPP.azurewebsites.net";`
- Download Android 10 emulator
- Run **MauiTest** in Android 10. You'll see the following screen:
- Push "Test HTTP/2". You'll get dialog with message "TEST". = HTTP/2 works.
- Push "Test gRPC". You'll get dialog with message "Hello TEST". = gRPC works
- Repeat the same for Android 9 or less
- Push "Test HTTP/2". You'll get dialog with message "TEST". = HTTP/2 works.
- Push "Test gRPC". You'll get the following exception.
**`Error starting gRPC call. HttpRequestException: Requesting HTTP version 2.0 with version policy RequestVersionOrHigher while unable to estabilish HTTP/2 connection.`**
### What did you expect to see?
For Android 9 or lower:
- Push "Test gRPC". You'll get dialog with message "Hello TEST". = gRPC works
### What did you see instead?
Exception is thrown.
**`Error starting gRPC call. HttpRequestException: Requesting HTTP version 2.0 with version policy RequestVersionOrHigher while unable to estabilish HTTP/2 connection.`**
### Anything else we should know about your project / environment?
- If you try it locally (after disabling HTTPS certificate checks) over HTTP then it works even with Android 9 and lower versions!
- This makes me suspicious of a bug related to TLS.
