iOS - AVPlayer can't stream video url from https localhost server - ios

Question

I'm trying to create a streaming app on iOS. So at first I tried with an http url and it didn't work because of security reasons they say so I created an https server on Android using NanoHTTPD and I'm able to access the new https server with Android and Windows devices connected on the same network albeit with warnings. Now I added this on my Info.plist file
<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
<key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
<true/>
</dict>
But it still remains the same and then I ran the app on the simulator and the logs gave me this

Here is the Swift code.
if let urlVal = NSURL(string: "https://192.168.0.27:8080/Videos/heyheyhey.mp4") {
let player = AVPlayer(url: urlVal as URL);
let vc = AVPlayerViewController();
vc.player = player;
present(vc, animated: true) {
vc.player?.play();
}
}
