I want to allow invalid SSL certificates with AFNetworking

Question

I want to allow invalid SSL certificates. My main code is below:

myClient = [[MyClient alloc] init];
[myClient getHtml:@\"/path/to/the/distination.html\"];
<         


        

Answer 1

I am using RestKit so

client.allowsInvalidSSLCertificate = YES;

does not work. The option is not propagated to the operations created by restkit.

I am using cocoapods so any changes in the pch file or the pods project get overriden. The "hack" I have been using is a cocoapod post-install operation that adds the required preprocessor definition. At the end of my pod file I have added:

post_install do |installer_representation|
  installer_representation.project.targets.each do |target|
    if target.name == 'Pods-AFNetworking'
      target.build_configurations.each do |config|
        config.build_settings['GCC_PREPROCESSOR_DEFINITIONS'] ||= ['$(inherited)']
        config.build_settings['GCC_PREPROCESSOR_DEFINITIONS'] << '_AFNETWORKING_ALLOW_INVALID_SSL_CERTIFICATES_=1'
      end
    end
  end
end
