Swift2.0 HTTP request not working

Question

Hello Stackoverflow,

I keep getting this error after I moved my swift app onto Swift2.0:

App Transport Security has blocked a cleartext HTTP (http://) resource load since it is insecure. Temporary exceptions can be configured via your app's Info.plist file.
The resource could not be loaded because the App Transport Security policy requires the use of a secure connection.

And I took a look at the following link https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/5835

and added the following code to my info.plist

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

And it still doesn't work, anyone have an alternative solution?

Look at this link @https://github.com/meteor/meteor/issues/4560 — Kalenda, Jul 27 '15 at 14:28

Have you tried just allowing all other connection without the NSExceptionDomains key? `NSAppTransportSecurity NSAllowsArbitraryLoads ` — Kalenda, Jul 27 '15 at 17:44

Its not a Swift 2.0 issue its actually an iOS 9.0 issue where iOS 9.0 forces web traffic to go over https setting the below flag allows http traffic.

You have to set the NSAllowsArbitraryLoads key to YES under NSAppTransportSecurity dictionary in your .plist file. Hope this helps!
