Disable App Transport Security in iOS 9
<!--
This disables app transport security and allows non-HTTPS requests.
Note: it is not recommended to use non-HTTPS requests for sensitive data. A better
approach is to fix the non-secure resources. However, this patch will work in a pinch.
To apply the fix in your Ionic/Cordova app, edit the file located here:
platforms/ios/MyApp/MyApp-Info.plist
And add this XML right before the end of the file inside of the last </dict> entry:
PASTE HERE
</dict>
</plist>
-->
<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
<key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key><true/>
</dict>

Anyone know how to get NSExceptionRequiresForwardSecrecy to false without editing by hand? This is absoludicrous, I keep publishing unusable builds because my *-Info.plist keeps getting wiped out every build...

And for the record, I have it under NSExceptionDomains so I can choose which one is acceptable for now.

I tried all above methods with no luck. Please help!
The weirdest part is the xcode keep automatic change all the keys name by itself, I open the info. plist file side by side with xcode view. it shows different entries on the key. xcode keep omit "NS" and add "setting" in the end. Xcode version is 7.3.1

same issue with me, this is my code :
$http.get(my.api.com).then(function(response) { console.log("fresh", JSON.stringify(response)); }, function(error) { console.log(error); })
it returns good value on android (emulator and device), on navigators, but not on iOS. It instead return a null value as data and no error is logged

@matheusleite and @royken. I am facing the same issue using Ionic. Did you guys find a work around?
For me the http requests work if I start a new project, but does not work for my old projects. Everything works in the old projects except for http requests. I have tried reinstalling the cordova whitelist plugin but no luck. Have been trying to solve this for a few days now. Seems like all went south after the ionic 3 upgrade. :/
