allow invalid certificates with AFNetworking

Question

I have been using following code

AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation = [[AFHTTPRequestOperation alloc]initWithRequest:request];
operation.allowsInvalidSSLCertifica         


        

Answer 1

I solved this problem by adding following code before [operation start];

AFSecurityPolicy *sec=[[AFSecurityPolicy alloc] init];
[sec setAllowInvalidCertificates:YES];
operation.securityPolicy=sec;

This happened because AFHTTPRequestOperationManager is not connected to AFHTTPRequestOperation. So setting manager's security certificate can not do magic at requestOperation. So have to initialize and assign one to AFHTTPRequestOperation.

Hope this help somebody :)

Answer 2

As far as I know. It's an iOS 7 issue. Apple does not allow communication with self signed certificate websites. Unless you send the certificate to device and add as a trusted certificate list.

Couldn't find piece of documented text by Apple.
