Even after adding App Transport Security Settings and Allow Arbitrary Loads under it I'm still getting the same error -
"App Transport Security has blocked a cleartext HTTP (http://) resource load
since it is insecure. Temporary exceptions can be configured via your app's
Info.plist file."
also couldn't figure out why the value of 'App Transport Security Settings' on the right side of the table is showing 0
You should add Allow Arbitrary Loads inside App Transport Security Settings dictionary, like this:
<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
<key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
<true/>
</dict>
Just adding to the above (yes it does still work at time of writing). For development purposes this works, but you won't be able to publish beyond 100 users in your Test Flight.
If you intend to push the app to the public or a Beta group you'll need to move to HTTPS or have very good reasons for the HTTP. See more here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/preventing_insecure_network_connections

iOS doesn't allow to navigate to http only url, allowing only https.
There is a solution, which is changing some code inside info.plist file
https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/8717
How can I change settings for iOS, as it comes with only .expo folder but nothing else.
Do I need to change server configuration for this at last? :(
As you properly find out, the problem is that iOS do not allow arbitrary calls to non-secure(http only) domains. It was a feature introduced with iOS 9 in order to push developers onto more secured connections.
As per writing of this(mid 2017), there is workaround. You should open
{Your-project}/ios/{Your-project}/Info.plist
and set proper values for the domain you are targeting(docs).
Following example will disable ATS and allow HTTP call to somedomain.com:
<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
<key>NSExceptionDomains</key>
<dict>
<key>localhost</key>
<dict>
<key>NSExceptionAllowsInsecureHTTPLoads</key>
<true/>
</dict>
</dict>
</dict>
In your situation, I believe you are looking for the Info.plist file in the wrong place. It is not part of the node modules, instead look at the ios path specified above.
Unfortunately Expo doesn't allow you to modify the App Transport Security Settings but may bake in a configuration option. Here's a Github thread.
You can eject from Expo but only do this if you are 100% sure.
This will give you a project very similar to one created by react-native init
This features an ios and android directory, navigating to ios/YourProject/ will reveal Info.plist.
How much of a struggle would it be to install an SSL certificate on your server? It may be more beneficial to do this and you can use a free service like letsencrypt.
I am attempting to send a http:// request however, ATS keeps blocking my request. I have turned on Allow Arbitrary Loads in the Info.plist and it still gives me the same error:
App Transport Security has blocked a cleartext HTTP (http://) resource load since it is insecure. Temporary exceptions can be configured via your app's Info.plist file.
You can add exceptions for specific domains in your Info.plist
You can bypass this by adding this key to your info.plist of the project
<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
<key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
<true/>
</dict>
Your dictionary App Transport Security Settings should be named NSAppTransportSecurity. And there should be only one thing in there which is NSAllowsArbitraryLoads boolean. Something like this.
Run my app on iOS 9 device,
got error logged:
App Transport Security has blocked a cleartext HTTP (http://) resource
load since it is insecure. Temporary exceptions can be configured via
your app's Info.plist file.
I surely did add NSAllowsArbitraryLoads to info.plist:
It still loaded nothing from the web...
What did I miss?
Do I have to allow the certain domain for my web service ?
I have found how to fix this query.
Ref->How do I load an HTTP URL with App Transport Security enabled in iOS 9?
-> Open Plist File of your project.
-> Then add NSAppTransportSecurity as a Dictionary.
-> Then add NSAllowsArbitraryLoads as Boolean and set its value to YES.
Now, Clean your project and run your project.
<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
<key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
<true/>
</dict>
please add these line in your plist 1- go to plist 2- right click and go to open as -> source code 3- paste these line in source code

Transport security has blocked a cleartext HTTP

Hello Stackoverflow,
I keep getting this error after I moved my swift app onto Swift2.0:
App Transport Security has blocked a cleartext HTTP (http://) resource load since it is insecure. Temporary exceptions can be configured via your app's Info.plist file.
The resource could not be loaded because the App Transport Security policy requires the use of a secure connection.
And I took a look at the following link https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/5835
and added the following code to my info.plist
<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
<key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
<true/>
<key>NSExceptionDomains</key>
<dict/>
</dict>
And it still doesn't work, anyone have an alternative solution?
Its not a Swift 2.0 issue its actually an iOS 9.0 issue where iOS 9.0 forces web traffic to go over https setting the below flag allows http traffic.
You have to set the NSAllowsArbitraryLoads key to YES under NSAppTransportSecurity dictionary in your .plist file. Hope this helps!
In iOS 9, Apple is blocking insecure HTTP connections for apps, unless specific hosts are whitelisted.
http://ste.vn/2015/06/10/configuring-app-transport-security-ios-9-osx-10-11/
Are WebView(s) exempt from these rules for obvious reasons, or are we still expected to whitelist hosts that a browser opens... including all links from a given page?
I wasn't sure if this was our responsibility or if that was exempt.
SFSafariViewController can show HTTP without the NSAppTransportSecurity key.
UIWebView and WKWebView require the NSAppTransportSecurity key mentioned above to display HTTP pages.
I have inserted the following in my apps .plist per the Apple Guidance:
<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
<!--Include to allow all connections - with and without SSL (DANGEROUS)-->
<key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
<true/>
</dict>
and when I try to load my webView (from an HTTPS server no less), I get the following error and it doesn't load.
NSURLSession/NSURLConnection HTTP load failed (kCFStreamErrorDomainSSL, -9813)
So I it looks like not only are they not exempt, they don't work even if you make the correct addition to the .plist.
This question was originally about iOS 9; however, according to Apple's documentation:
Starting in iOS 10.0 and later, the following subkeys are supported:
NSAllowsArbitraryLoadsInWebContent
...
Use NSAllowsArbitraryLoadsInWebContent so that you do not need to white list each page a WebView may load.
Keep NSAllowsArbitraryLoads to maintain backward compatibility with iOS 9 and enable the new setting in your Xcode 8 project Info.plist here:
If your app (a third-party web browser, for instance) needs to load arbitrary content, Apple provides a way to disable ATS altogether, but I suspect it’s wise for you to use this capability sparingly:
<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
<!--Include to allow all connections (DANGER)-->
<key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
<true/>
</dict>
