OK, so I'm working on BT 4.0 for iOS, the latest iOS Core I want all of you to start playing with. It "was" closer than it is now, thanks to iOS9. But, it shouldn't be too long until you see all the changes. Expect a forum-topper post about this in the coming days. This post is about something totally different and just for fun. For those of us familiar with the UIWebView (a UI compontent used in boatloads of iOS apps to show web content) you'll get a load out of this. While testing a BT 4.0 app I ran into some trouble loading a random website. Google, Yahoo, ESPN, etc. NONE of them will load in iOS9 without the NSAppTransportSecurity stuff in the .plist (prior to compiling the project). This of course is driving advertisers and publishers wild all over the internet. Getting "arbitrary loads" to work that don't use https:// is relatively easy. BUT, getting SSL loads (https://) to work without first adding them to an exceptions list is tough. Real tough. Anyway, have a look at the debug output below. This is ONE WEBSITE after ONE CALL to loadURL. You can see the insane amount of "work" going on behind the scenes with the UIWebView. It's no wonder it's unpredicatable!!! Secret: Have a look at the "handleSwipeLeft" in the output log. I expect you to smile when you see this. I also expect you to being speculating about what I'm up to in the 4.0 Core :-) BEGIN CONSOLE OUTPUT AFTER LOADING ONE SCREEN. CAN YOU FIND THE SSL ERRORS? I counted 20 different "loads" and 20 different "finishes" with one single URL. What a joke. 2015-09-28 22:05:25.973 Buzztouch[4892:3784320] BT_customURL: handleSwipeLeft (super) 2015-09-28 22:05:25.974 Buzztouch[4892:3784320] BT_customURL: handleSwipeLeft (super).

Holy smokes. No wonder they put bigger processors in the new iPhones... Cheers! -- Smug

Have you considered moving the web view over to WKWebView instead of UIWebView. I know you have backwards compatibility to think about but SFSafariViewController gets you around all the ATS BS for displaying a simple address like espn.com

oops

Swipe goodness! :-) The Ad Blocker technology should help in reducing the quantity of requests. Agree with Nick, the Safari VC will help to modernize the BT core. Bummer though, the backwards compatibility forces both types of webbiews to remain in the BT Core for a few more years. The good news is that iOS 9 is compatible with iPhone 4S and iPad 2! Thanks for sharing. -- Niraj

I've been updating apps all this week for the damn plist issues loading half of my pages. LOL. Cool. Looking forward to 4.0. Thanks D! mrDavid
