Ignore errors for self-signed SSL certs using the

问题:

I'm building a small ReactNative iOS application. In it, I use the fetch API to make a simple get request to a server I control that has a valid - but self-signed - SSL cert. Understandably, this causes an error.

Between iOS/JSC, I'm unsure how (or what!) I can configure for my app to ignore this error - all the answers I've found so far are related to Objective-C solutions, I'm looking for something I can use with a JSC environment.

Disclaimer: This solution should be temporary and documented so that it won't stay in the production phase of the software, this is for development only.

For iOS, all you have to do is, open your xcodeproject (inside your iOS folder in RN) once you have that open, go to RCTNetwork.xcodeproj and in that project, navigate to RCTHTTPRequestHandler.m

In that file you will see a line like this:

 #pragma mark - NSURLSession delegate

right after that line, add this function

- (void)URLSession:(NSURLSession *)session didReceiveChallenge:(NSURLAuthenticationChallenge *)challenge completionHandler:(void (^)(NSURLSessionAuthChallengeDisposition disposition, NSURLCredential *credential))completionHandler
{
  completionHandler(NSURLSessionAuthChallengeUseCredential, [NSURLCredential credentialForTrust:challenge.protectionSpace.serverTrust]);
}

And voila, you can now make insecure calls to your API without a valid certificate.

That should be enough, but if you are still having problems, you might need to go to your project's info.plist, left click on it and choose open as... source code.

and at the end just add

<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
  <dict>
    <key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
    <true/>
  </dict>

so your file will look like this

    ...
    <key>UISupportedInterfaceOrientations</key>
    <array>
        <string>UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait</string>
        <string>UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft</string>
        <string>UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight</string>
    </array>
    <key>UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance</key>
    <false/>
    <key>NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription</key>
    <string></string>
  <key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
  <dict>
    <key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
    <true/>
  </dict>
</dict>
</plist>

I encountered this same issue. As you noted, it seems the only way to get a native iOS app to work with a self-signed certificate is by writing/modifying Objective-C code, which is not a good approach for a JavaScript developer using React Native. For this reason, I think your question is an X/Y problem, and I propose solving your overall problem with a different approach from using a self-signed certificate in the first place.

I use a real certificate for development instead. Here is what I did to get my local development API working with SSL and React Native. It's free and simple.

• ssh into your public server that your domain is associated with
• install letsencrypt
• generate a certificate for your development subdomains
  • dev.my-domain.com for developing my website/webapp locally
  • api.dev.my-domain.com for the api
  • ./letsencrypt-auto certonly --standalone -d dev.my-domain.com -d api.dev.my-domain.com
• copy fullchain.pem and privkey.pem to your local machine
  • probably found under /etc/letsencrypt/live/dev.my-domain.com
  • one way to get the files from your remote machine: scp -r your_user@123.123.(...):/etc/letsencrypt/live/dev.my-domain.com ./
• replace your self-signed certificate with fullchain.pem and privkey.pem
• point dev.your-domain.com and other subdomains you use to your development machine's ip
  • you can modify your hosts file on each machine you want to use the domain
  • if your router has dnsmasq, you can do something like address=/dev.my-domain.com/192.168.(...) for the whole network (I recommend this)

At this point, because you are using a real, trusted certificate for the domain you're accessing, your api will now be trusted in browsers and on devices in development!

This answer work for Android.

1. find OkHttpClientProvider.java on node_modules\react-native\ReactAndroid\src\main\java\com\facebook\react\modules\network.

2. compile ReactAndroid use NDK
