App Transport Security

App Transport Security (ATS) is a privacy feature introduced in iOS 9. It's enabled by default for new apps and enforces secure connections.

All iOS 9 and iOS 10 devices running apps built with Xcode 7 or higher that don't disable ATS will be affected by this change. This may affect your app's integration with the Orion Ads SDK.

The following log message appears when a non-ATS compliant app attempts to serve an ad via HTTP on iOS 9 or iOS 10:

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.

To ensure your ads are not impacted by ATS, do the following:

1. Update to latest Orion Ads SDK.

2. Add the NSAllowsArbitraryLoads exception to your app's Info.plist file to disable ATS restrictions.

The NSAllowsArbitraryLoads exception is required to make sure your ads are not impacted by ATS on iOS 9 devices.
