Network Programming in .NET

In the new iOS 9 Apple has decided that HTTP is too insecure for communications outside of your app… If you try to make one, you get this error:

Failed to load resource: The resource could not be loaded because the App Transport Security policy requires the use of a secure connection.

So, you can go and get a HTTPS security cert for your server – perhaps the best option – or you can add this to your info.plist

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

I discovered this when using http://www.remotelogcat.com on a Phonegap / Cordova iOS app.
