Getting CFNetwork SSLHandshake failed (-9806) error

Question

I am trying to call my url using

NSDictionary *landingDetails=[appDelegate landingPage];

        NSString *devinf=[UIDevice currentDevice].systemVersion;
              


        

Answer 1

FWIW: I got the same error number and it was due to an expired certificate, so this is another potential source for the issue.

Answer 2

There is a bug on iOS 8 when using a certificate with hash function SHA512, better use the SHA256. I stuck with this error for weeks.

Answer 3

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)
