Xcode 7.1 beta 2- Disable ATS - ios

Question

Heyy, I have spent the last day or so racking my brain trying and failing to disable the ATS, I know it is deemed bad too, but I am currently only working on the app internally. I have tried many suggestions online to no avail, latest try below of info.plist. I am lost as to what to do?

If you want to disable ATS, you can just add this to the Info.plist
<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
<key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
<true/>
</dict>
And when you're finished working on your app, you can re enable it and go granular with whitelisting your domains.
Like this, the first includes all subdomains and the second does not:
<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
<key>NSExceptionDomains</key>
<dict>
<key>maindomain.com</key>
<dict>
<key>NSIncludesSubdomains</key>
<true/>
<key>NSTemporaryExceptionAllowsInsecureHTTPLoads</key>
<true/>
</dict>
<key>other.domain.net</key>
<dict>
<key>NSTemporaryExceptionAllowsInsecureHTTPLoads</key>
<true/>
</dict>
</dict>
</dict>
One added step that you may require if you're testing on simulator, is to both clean the project and reset the content and settings of the simulator, then build and run again.
