Notes

App Transport Security

Starting with iOS 9, you have to use secure "https" connections or the page will not display. To continue to connect to non-secure "http" connections that you do not control you'll have to provide a plist with a temporary exception specified for each site you are accessing via http:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
    <dict>
        <key>NSExceptionDomains</key>
        <dict>
            <key>firstsite.com</key>
            <dict>
                <key>NSIncludesSubdomains</key>
                <true/>
                <key>NSTemporaryExceptionAllowsInsecureHTTPLoads</key>
                <true/>
            </dict>
            <key>secondsite.com</key>
            <dict>
                <key>NSIncludesSubdomains</key>
                <true/>
                <key>NSTemporaryExceptionAllowsInsecureHTTPLoads</key>
                <true/>
            </dict>
        </dict>
    </dict>
</dict>
</plist>

If you don't know the specific sites, you can request access to everything using a single key:

<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
  <!-- Include to allow all connections; avoid if possible -->
  <key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
      <true/>
</dict>

Apple may reject your App Store submission if you app uses these settings without valid reasons.

For more information about this, refer to NSAppTransportSecurity in Apple's docs.

Apparently there is a bug in iOS that prevents the use of IP addresses in this plist. So to enable http on your local computer for testing use "localhost" rather than "127.0.0.1" and be sure to use "http://localhost" in your URLs instead of "http://127.0.0.1".
