How to handle “CFNetwork SSLHandshake failed” in i

Question

Some times i'm getting CFNetwork SSLHandshake failed -(9806) in my code,but i'm not sure why this is happening as my code runs smoothly,except when i run it in iOS 6 and then on iOS 7 64-bit i get this warning.
Can anybody suggest me, how to handle this issue ?

Answer 1

I had the same problem, and in my case the solution was that in my code I wrote

initWithScheme:@"https"

instead of

initWithScheme:@"http"

So make sure you use the correct protocol

Answer 2

Normally when I get CFNetwork SSLHandshake failed -(*) Its because of my local wifi network (device is connected to network but not the internet)

Try it again on another network (3G is the quickest solution for me)

Answer 3

Another solution: check if date/time is set correctly in your phone. SSL certificates are valid UNTIL certain date.

Answer 4

Had the same issue and after I have confirmed that the server is getting the POST the solution was this:

• Clean the project: Product -> Clean
• Delete your app from the iOS device/iOS Simulator and quit the Simulator
• Compile your app and run it

In my case, simple as that.

Answer 5

This could also happen because of iOS 9. iOS 9 and OSX 10.11 require TLSv1.2 SSL for all hosts you plan to request data from unless you specify exception domains in your app's Info.plist file.
