SocketRocket not working on iOS 5.0

Question

I just made a simple real-time text chat application using SocketRocket. It works great on iOS 6.0 and 5.1 but when I try to run it on 5.0 when connecting I get the following error...

Websocket Failed With Error Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=-9800 "The
operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -9800.)"
UserInfo=0x6e506e0 {}

Does anyone have any idea what this could mean or how to fix it? I browsed the issues on github but couldnt find anything and its claimed to work on iOS5+.

EDIT: To add, this is when I test on simulator. I dont have a device that has 5.0, so im not sure if fails on the phone in the same way. Also, if I use ws as opposed to wss (encrypted), it seems to work fine.

I can test it on an iOS 5 device. Can you post the code you are using? — jcesarmobile, Feb 07 '13 at 14:27
Ill see If I can post something replicating it tomorrow. I haven't tested the sample app with SocketRocket to see if it has the same behavior. — Arbel, Feb 07 '13 at 15:14
Don't know if this will help, but according to [this page](https://github.com/vert-x/vert.x/issues/269), -9800 is an SSL protocol error. — gtmtg, Feb 09 '13 at 04:38

This error has been reported over problems with iOS's SSL authentication. One report suggested changing from kCFStreamSocketSecurityLevelTLSv1 to kCFStreamSocketSecurityLevelSSLv3.
