Corona SDK and Self-Signed SSL Certs

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

I have a project running locally, the backend is a laravel application and I use its APIs to push/pull data to the corona app. The laravel app has a self signed ssl cert so we can develop over https, mimicking production, however Corona Simulator doesn’t seem to support self signed certs. I am getting the following error:

Corona Simulator[66572:858313] ERROR: network: network request failed: https://testapp.test/api/login [-1202: The certificate for this server is invalid. You might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be “testapp.test” which could put your confidential information at risk.]

IS there a way to allow for self signed certs? I need https to debug the Vue front end in FireFox and Chrome, so doing away with the ssl cert is a hard pill to swallow.

Hi,

As long as I can remember you can not use self signed certs. If your laravel app is hosted on a server I’d look intoLet’s Encrypt for a free SSL cert.

That is correct.  Self signed certs are not supported.  You’ll either need to go with HTTP or use a valid signed cert.
