The resource could not be loaded because the App T

Question

I am facing the Problem when I have updated my Xcode to 7.0 or iOS 9.0. Somehow it started giving me the Titled error

"The resource could not be loaded because the App Transport Security policy requires the use of a secure connection"

Webservice Method:

-(void)ServiceCall:(NSString*)ServiceName :(NSString *)DataString
{
NSURLSessionConfiguration *sessionConfiguration = [NSURLSessionConfiguration defaultSessionConfiguration];
    [sessionConfiguration setAllowsCellularAccess:YES];
    [sessionConfiguration setHTTPAdditionalHeaders:@{ @"Accept" : @"application/json" }];
    NSURLSession *session = [NSURLSession sessionWithConfiguration:sessionConfiguration];

    NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",ServiceURL]];
    NSLog(@"URl %@%@",url,DataString);
    // Configure the Request
    NSMutableURLRequest *request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
    [request setValue:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@=%@", strSessName, strSessVal] forHTTPHeaderField:@"Cookie"];
    request.HTTPBody = [DataString dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
    request.HTTPMethod = @"Post";

    // post the request and handle response
    NSURLSessionDataTask *postDataTask = [session dataTaskWithRequest:request completionHandler:^(NSData *data, NSURLResponse *response, NSError *error)
                                          {
                                              // Handle the Response
                                              if(error)
                                              {
                                                  NSLog(@"%@",[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Connection failed: %@", [error description]]);

                                                  // Update the View
                                                  dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{

                                                      // Hide the Loader
                                                      [MBProgressHUD hideHUDForView:[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate].window animated:YES];


                                                  });
                                                  return;
                                              }
                                              NSArray * cookies = [[NSHTTPCookieStorage sharedHTTPCookieStorage] cookiesForURL:request.URL];
                                              for (NSHTTPCookie * cookie in cookies)
                                              {
                                                  NSLog(@"%@=%@", cookie.name, cookie.value);
                                                  strSessName=cookie.name;
                                                  strSessVal=cookie.value;

                                              }

                                              NSString *retVal = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
}];
[postDataTask resume];

}

The service is Running fine for Xcode earlier versions and iOS previous versions But when I have updated to Xcode 7.0 that is on iOS 9.0, it started to give me the Problem like following when I am calling the above web service method. The Logged Error which I am getting is:

Connection failed: Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1022 "The resource could not be loaded because the App Transport Security policy requires the use of a secure connection." UserInfo={NSUnderlyingError=0x7fada0f31880 {Error Domain=kCFErrorDomainCFNetwork Code=-1022 "(null)"}, NSErrorFailingURLStringKey=MyServiceURL, NSErrorFailingURLKey=MyServiceURL, NSLocalizedDescription=The resource could not be loaded because the App Transport Security policy requires the use of a secure connection.}

I have tried Following Questions and answers but did not get any result there, is there any advance idea how I can remove that service call error?

1. The resource could not be loaded is ios9
2. App Transport Security Xcode 7 beta 6

Answer 1

I have solved as plist file.

Add a NSAppTransportSecurity : Dictionary.

Add Subkey named " NSAllowsArbitraryLoads " as Boolean : YES

Answer 2

Make sure you change the right info.plist file.

This is the second time I waste time on this issue, because I didn't notice that I'm changing info.plist under MyProjectNameUITests.

Answer 3

Be aware, using NSAllowsArbitraryLoads = true allows all connection to any server to be insecure. If you want to make sure only a specific domain is accessible through an insecure connection, try this:

Or, as source code:

<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
    <key>NSExceptionDomains</key>
    <dict>
        <key>domain.com</key>
        <dict>
            <key>NSExceptionAllowsInsecureHTTPLoads</key>
            <true/>
            <key>NSIncludesSubdomains</key>
            <true/>
        </dict>
    </dict>
</dict>

Clean & Build project after editing.

Answer 4

iOS 9 (may) force developers to use App Transport Security exclusively. I overheard this somewhere randomly so I don't know whether this is true myself. But I suspect it and have come to this conclusion:

The app running on iOS 9 will (maybe) no longer connect to a Meteor server without SSL.

This means running meteor run ios or meteor run ios-device will (probably?) no longer work.

In the app's info.plist, NSAppTransportSecurity [Dictionary] needs to have a key NSAllowsArbitraryLoads [Boolean] to be set to YES or Meteor needs to use https for its localhost server soon.

Answer 5

The resource could not be loaded because the App Transport Security policy requires the use of a secure connection working in Swift 4.03.

Open your pList.info as source code and paste:

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

Answer 6

In Swift 4 You can use

->Go Info.plist

-> Click plus of Information properties list

->Add App Transport Security Settings as dictionary

-> Click Plus icon App Transport Security Settings

-> Add Allow Arbitrary Loads set YES
