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

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 load

Answer 1

For iOS 10.x and Swift 3.x [below versions are also supported] just add the following lines in 'info.plist'

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

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 in the project's info.plist 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.
