WebView Xcode 7 blank error - ios

Question

i am trying to launch a URL with WebView on xCode 7 and my issue is that it always appears a blank white page when i hit the Build button.
Below is the code:
ViewConntroller.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#interface ViewController : UIViewController
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIWebView *webView;
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIActivityIndicatorView *activityIndicator;
#end
ViewController.m
#import "ViewController.h"
#interface ViewController ()
#end
#implementation ViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
NSString *fullURL= #"http://www.google.com";
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:fullURL];
NSURLRequest *requestObj = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[_webView loadRequest:requestObj];
}
- (void)webViewDidStartLoad:(UIWebView *)webView
{
[_activityIndicator startAnimating];
}
- (void)webViewDidFinishLoad:(UIWebView *)webView
{
[_activityIndicator stopAnimating]; _activityIndicator.hidden = TRUE;
}
- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning {
[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
}
#end

Xcode 7 and iOS 9 introduced a system known as App Transport Security (ATS).
This will prevent the app from loading certain web resources and in a WebView this will lead to a blank screen.
The gist of this is you must choose from one of the following:
a) Only use HTTPS resources -> Perhaps try https://www.google.com (not tested this myself).
b) Selectively choose which NON-HTTPS resources to use -> See here for explanation.
c) Disable ATS all together -> Not advised, but unavoidable sometimes. To do this, find your Info.plist file and add the following:
NSAppTransportSecurity (Dictionary)
|
----> NSAllowsArbitraryLoads(Bool) = YES
OR in source code view (right click on file > Open As > Source Code):
<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
<key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
<true/>
</dict>
See here for more.
Check the console of Xcode when running the app to see if you get an error message that says you must temporarily white list this site.
