NSData dataWithContentsOfURL: not returning data for URL that shows in browser

Question

I am making an iOS client for the Stack Exchange API. After a long, drawn out fight I finally managed to implement authentication - which gives me a token I stick into a URL

Answer 1

In my case, adding AppTransportSecuritySettings dictionary into info.plist and setting key AllowArbitraryLoads to true.

Fixed my problem...

Hope it helps new developers.
