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:
NSAllowsArbitraryLoadsForMediaNSAllowsArbitraryLoadsInWebContent
<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
<key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoadsForMedia</key>
<true/>
<key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoadsInWebContent</key>
<true/>
</dict>
The NSAllowsArbitraryLoadsForMedia and NSAllowsArbitraryLoadsInWebContent
keys are required to make sure your ads are not impacted by ATS.
