Answer 1

This is an issue with the website you're connecting to, not the code. If it does not have a known certificate, it will be treated as a security risk.

Answer 2

What's happening is that your certificate is not valid (in the point of view of your app). If you want to take the risk, you can add the following code.

- (BOOL)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection canAuthenticateAgainstProtectionSpace:(NSURLProtectionSpace *)protectionSpace {
    return [protectionSpace.authenticationMethod isEqualToString:NSURLAuthenticationMethodServerTrust];
}

- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveAuthenticationChallenge:(NSURLAuthenticationChallenge *)challenge {
NSArray * trustedHosts = @[@"your domain"];
if ([challenge.protectionSpace.authenticationMethod isEqualToString:NSURLAuthenticationMethodServerTrust])
    if ([trustedHosts containsObject:challenge.protectionSpace.host])
        [challenge.sender useCredential:[NSURLCredential credentialForTrust:challenge.protectionSpace.serverTrust] forAuthenticationChallenge:challenge];

[challenge.sender continueWithoutCredentialForAuthenticationChallenge:challenge];
}

So the certificate will be ignored. (remember to replace "your domain", with your domain.)
