Unable to use self signed certificate with AFNetworking 2

Question

I put the .cer certificate used by the Apache Server in the Xcode project. When the app tries to talk to the server I get this error in Xcode:

Assertion fail         


        

Answer 1

If required, you can disable the invalid certificate check by changing your security policy.

[self setAllowInvalidCertificates:YES];

Please read more in the documentation: http://cocoadocs.org/docsets/AFNetworking/2.0.3/Classes/AFSecurityPolicy.html#//api/name/allowInvalidCertificates

You can also pin the certificate: http://cocoadocs.org/docsets/AFNetworking/2.0.3/Classes/AFSecurityPolicy.html#//api/name/pinnedCertificates
