App Transport Security
(ATS)
is a privacy feature that enforces secure connections. It's enabled by default
for new apps.
The following log message appears when a non-ATS compliant app attempts to serve
an ad using HTTP:
App Transport Security has blocked a cleartext HTTP (http://)
resource load since it is insecure. Temporary exceptions can be
configured in your app's Info.plist file.
To disable ATS restrictions, add the following exceptions to your app's
Info.plist:
