openssl plugin ios 9.2 compatibility

#1

is there a compatibility issue with openssl plugin and iOS 9.2? My app is working in lower iOS version but not with 9.2. And i always get a network error even if there is internet.

#2

When you say “earlier” versions, are you saying 9.x or 8.x?

8.x and 6.x

Okay you are running into the iOS 9 ATS “issue”. Apple requires all web based network connections to connect to https:// not http://. You can either change your URL’s to use https:// if the service supports it, or else you have to add some exception rules to your build.setting’s iphone.plist table.

i’ve tried adding this in my build.settings but i still get a network error. i’ve tried it in iPad3 and iPod Touch. (example.com is replaced with my url)

NSAppTransportSecurity =
            {
                NSExceptionDomains =
                {
                    [“example.com”] =
                    {
                        NSIncludesSubdomains = true,
                        NSThirdPartyExceptionAllowsInsecureHTTPLoads = true,
                        NSAllowsArbitraryLoads = true,
                    },
                },
            },

I tried the SSL test and found this in the result.

Apple ATS 9 / iOS 9 R           Protocol or cipher suite mismatch

Could this be the reason why my app could not connect to my server?

As for my build.settings, I’m not quite sure if I need to put the whole url or just the domain? Should it be https://sub.example.net or sub.example.net?

Below is my build.settings:

NSAppTransportSecurity =
            {
                NSExceptionDomains =
                {
                    [“sub.example.net”] =
                    {
                        NSIncludesSubdomains = true,
                        NSThirdPartyExceptionAllowsInsecureHTTPLoads = true,
                        NSAllowsArbitraryLoads = true,
                    },
                },
            },

Thank you very much!

Just the domain name.  Are there possibly other URL’s being hit?
