The resource could not be loaded because the App Transport Security policy requires the use of a secure connection
I am facing the Problem when I have updated my Xcode to 7.0 or iOS 9.0. Somehow it started giving me the Titled error
"The resource could not be loaded because the App Transport Security policy requires the use of a secure connection"
Webservice Method:
-(void)ServiceCall:(NSString*)ServiceName :(NSString *)DataString
{
NSURLSessionConfiguration *sessionConfiguration = [NSURLSessionConfiguration defaultSessionConfiguration];
[sessionConfiguration setAllowsCellularAccess:YES];
[sessionConfiguration setHTTPAdditionalHeaders:@{ @"Accept" : @"application/json" }];
NSURLSession *session = [NSURLSession sessionWithConfiguration:sessionConfiguration];
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",ServiceURL]];
NSLog(@"URl %@%@",url,DataString);
// Configure the Request
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[request setValue:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@=%@", strSessName, strSessVal] forHTTPHeaderField:@"Cookie"];
request.HTTPBody = [DataString dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
request.HTTPMethod = @"Post";
// post the request and handle response
NSURLSessionDataTask *postDataTask = [session dataTaskWithRequest:request completionHandler:^(NSData *data, NSURLResponse *response, NSError *error)
{
// Handle the Response
if(error)
{
NSLog(@"%@",[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Connection failed: %@", [error description]]);
// Update the View
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
// Hide the Loader
[MBProgressHUD hideHUDForView:[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate].window animated:YES];
});
return;
}
NSArray * cookies = [[NSHTTPCookieStorage sharedHTTPCookieStorage] cookiesForURL:request.URL];
for (NSHTTPCookie * cookie in cookies)
{
NSLog(@"%@=%@", cookie.name, cookie.value);
strSessName=cookie.name;
strSessVal=cookie.value;
}
NSString *retVal = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
}];
[postDataTask resume];
}
The service is Running fine for Xcode earlier versions and iOS previous versions But when I have updated to Xcode 7.0 that is on iOS 9.0, it started to give me the Problem like following when I am calling the above web service method. The Logged Error which I am getting is:
Connection failed: Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1022 "The resource could not be loaded because the App Transport Security policy requires the use of a secure connection." UserInfo={NSUnderlyingError=0x7fada0f31880 {Error Domain=kCFErrorDomainCFNetwork Code=-1022 "(null)"}, NSErrorFailingURLStringKey=MyServiceURL, NSErrorFailingURLKey=MyServiceURL, NSLocalizedDescription=The resource could not be loaded because the App Transport Security policy requires the use of a secure connection.}
I have tried Following Questions and answers but did not get any result there, is there any advance idea how I can remove that service call error?
- The resource could not be loaded is ios9
- App Transport Security Xcode 7 beta 6

Solution 1:
I have solved it with adding some key in info.plist. The steps I followed are:
-
Opened my Project target's
info.plist
file -
Added a Key called
NSAppTransportSecurity
as aDictionary
. -
Added a Subkey called
NSAllowsArbitraryLoads
asBoolean
and set its value toYES
as like following image.
Clean the Project and Now Everything is Running fine as like before.

EDIT:
OR In source code of info.plist
file we can add that:
<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
<key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
<true/>
<key>NSExceptionDomains</key>
<dict>
<key>yourdomain.com</key>
<dict>
<key>NSIncludesSubdomains</key>
<true/>
<key>NSThirdPartyExceptionRequiresForwardSecrecy</key>
<false/>
</dict>
</dict>
</dict>
Solution 2:
Be aware, using NSAllowsArbitraryLoads = true
in the project's info.plist
allows all connection to any server to be insecure. If you want to make sure only a specific domain is accessible through an insecure connection, try this:
Or, as source code:
<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
<key>NSExceptionDomains</key>
<dict>
<key>domain.com</key>
<dict>
<key>NSExceptionAllowsInsecureHTTPLoads</key>
<true/>
<key>NSIncludesSubdomains</key>
<true/>
</dict>
</dict>
</dict>
Clean & Build project after editing.
Solution 3:
Transport security is provided in iOS 9.0 or later, and in OS X v10.11 and later.
So by default only https calls only allowed in apps. To turn off App Transport Security add following lines in info.plist file...
<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
<key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
<true/>
</dict>

Solution 4:
For iOS 10.x and Swift 3.x [below versions are also supported] just add the following lines in 'info.plist'
<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
<key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
<true/>
</dict>
Solution 5:
In Swift 4 You can use
->Go Info.plist
-> Click plus of Information properties list
->Add App Transport Security Settings as dictionary
-> Click Plus icon App Transport Security Settings
-> Add Allow Arbitrary Loads set YES
