Yeah, unfortunately it’s a huge barrier if you’re wanting to see why your devices are phoning home and the data being sent. It makes it extremely difficult if not impossible for most people to bypass.
Specifically for attempting to bypass certificate pinning you’re solidly in the realm of reverse engineering. I haven’t attempting it myself but I have read the efforts of others over the years and the process was quite evolved and ever changing. If you are interested in going down this rabbit hole you may use these links as starting points but be prepared to adapt them.

I understand. What other methods would you suggest to be able to snoop on/decrypt the traffic from my device?

Thanks, I had heard of frida before, but never tried it. I’ll save this comment, many thanks for the pointers!
