Alamofire HTTPS request failing

Question

I want to use Alamofire in my swift application, to get the data from server. But when I am sending request through Alamofire its always throwing an error. But if I'm using NSUrlSession with default configuration it's working.

I tried this solution but still its not working

Code which I am using

let headers = [
        "Authorization": validationHeader
    ]

    let completeUrl = kReserveBaseURL + strMyResURL
    Alamofire.request(.GET, completeUrl, headers: headers)
        .response { request, response, data, error in
            debugPrint(error)
            debugPrint(response)
    }

Below are the issues which I'm getting

    Some : Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1202 "The certificate for this server is invalid. You might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be “abc.xyz.com” which could put your confidential information at risk."

It looks like you are getting this error due to iOS security restricitons (Untruster server certificate on the SSL level). I would recommend to troubleshoot this by adding security exception into you app's info.plist:

<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
    <!--Include to allow all connections (DANGER)-->
    <key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
<true/>
</dict>

Source link: https://ste.vn/2015/06/10/configuring-app-transport-security-ios-9-osx-10-11/

After adding this you should not observe the error any more.

If it helps, you can figure out depper using this:

Especialy relevant section to you is: "Using the nscurl tool to diagnose ATS Connection Issues"

Its because of the security restrictions. In the info.plist add these two comments,
