App Transport Security Key not working in info.plist

Question

My info.plist is set as follows:

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

However when loading "www.google.com" into a UIWebView, I still receive an ATS security error:

The resource could not be loaded because the App Transport Security policy requires the use of a secure connection

dict is closed, forgot to paste that line. Also added what it looks like in the plist — JeffN, Nov 16 '15 at 03:18

The exact value is

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

Once you have entered into the plist make sure it is correctly represented in the Project settings info tab

In my case the issue was actually that the info.plist file was not properly assigned to my target. The key in the Plist was correct. At some point I had divided my app into 2 targets for a lite and pro version, each with their own info.plist, however they were not properly assigned.

This can be checked underTarget > Build Settings > Search for "Info.plist" > Change path under targeting
