NSURLSession "HTTP load failed kCFStreamErrorDomainSSL, -9813 ; Self signing certificate

Question

I\'m trying to connect my iOS app to an HTTPS Rails app which is currently run on a local host in my network. I can access the site from my browser with https://myIP:3

Answer 1

If I understood well, Apple now wants the developers to use HTTPS and TLS 1.2 for network calls.

Temporary, you can add this in your "Info.plist" file :

NSAppTransportSecurity

    NSAllowsArbitraryLoads
    

Just have a look to this link, it may also help you : http://ste.vn/2015/06/10/configuring-app-transport-security-ios-9-osx-10-11/

Update : Following some comments the above solution is not anymore working. Here is an updated solution.

1. Go to your Info.plist file.
2. Add a row of Type Dictionary and of Key App Transport Security Settings.
3. In this Dictionary, add a row of Type Boolean, of Key Allow Arbitrary Loads and of Value YES

-

Otherwise you can set Domain Exceptions. This is how to do :

1. Go to your Info.plist file.
2. Add a row of Type Dictionary and of Key App Transport Security Settings.
3. Add a row of Type Dictionary and of Key Exception Domains.
4. Add a row of Type Dictionary and of Key The domain.
5. Add two rows of Type Boolean and of Key NSExceptionAllowsInsecureHTTPLoads & NSIncludesSubdomains with Value to YES.
