IOS Apps

Setting up an iOS device requires the following one-time manual setup. In case you forget, you can get these detailed steps inside the desktop app by clicking on Connect Apps button as shown below. A popup modal will open, click on setup instructions for iOS under Mobile apps & browsers section.

Setup the proxy

In your iOS device, navigate to Settings -> Wi-Fi -> Select current Wi-Fi -> Configure Proxy

Set the proxy settings to Manual and then enter the IP address of the computer and the proxy port. You can find these on the top banner inside the Requestly desktop app

To ensure that the proxy has been set, visit http://amiusing.requestly.io . If the rendered page shows success as follows, means the proxy is now correctly configured.

Download the SSL certificate as a custom profile

Now open Safari and go to http://requestly.io/ssl (remember to use HTTP, not HTTPS).

This should download a custom profile on your device which contains the Requestly CA certificate a. alternatively you could download this certificate as follows from the Requestly desktop app b. But make sure to transfer it to the device either using airdrop or by emailing it to yourself. Only then will the iOS device identify it as a custom profile

Install custom iOS profile

Install the custom profile

Now to install the downloaded custom profile go to Settings. You should see a new option at the top that says Profile Downloaded. Select that to install the profile

Click on Install. This will also ask you to enter your pin/passphrase. Once everything is complete, click Done on the top right to finish the installation and navigate out

Install the new custom iOS profile

Enable trust for SSL certificate

Finally, you need to enable trust for CA certificates that were installed along with this custom profile. Go to Settings -> General -> About -> Certificate Trust Settings

You should see a certificate by the name of RQProxyCA. Enable the trust for this certificate enable trust for Requestly's certificate authority for intercepting HTTPs traffic

Reverting the setup

Remember to disable the HTTP Proxy in your Settings when you stop using Requestly, otherwise, you'll get confusing network failures in your applications! You just need to set the network proxy the next time you want to debug with Requestly.
