How can I connect to an api with http from iOS emulator?

Question

Hi everyone !

I cannot test the api because iOS does not allow http urls. Is there any way to allow http?
I used to have a method, but I think that method was removed.
I will be glad if you help.

Thanks in advance !

Hello,​

Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

If your app needs to load and display web content from non-secure sites, add the following to your app's Info.plist file to allow web pages to load correctly while Apple Transport Security (ATS) protection is still enabled for the rest of the app:

   <key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>  
   <dict>  
     <key> NSAllowsArbitraryLoadsInWebContent</key>  
     <true/>  
   </dict>  

Optionally, you can make the following changes to your app's Info.plist file to completely disable ATS for all domains and internet communication:

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