Internet Permissions

You can poke holes in ATS by adding a NSAppTransportSecurity dictionary to Info.plist. Add an NSExceptionDomains dictionary to whitelist specific domains. It may resemble:

• NSAppTransportSecurity
  • NSExceptionDomains
    • api.rottentomatoes.com
      • NSExceptionAllowsInsecureHTTPLoads: YES

You may also use NSAllowsArbitraryLoads to completely disable ATS in your app:

Or in XML:

<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
    <key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key><true/>
</dict>

This is strongly discouraged. Only use this during development.
