Hej Marten and all,

Meantime this is what I ran into which is why I eventually bundled the qml
minibrowser and my application. The browser tries to connect to the application
via ws://127.0.0.1:50050 and this works out well on macOS. On iOS, however, the
connection fails and, furthermore, any other action (e.g. sending packets) with
the websocket server endpoint makes the app crash. Hence, I'd suspect this is
due to iOS specific security settings – also because the dialog to allow local
network usage does not show up. Please find here the list of network related
security keys I applied in the Info.plist file
<key>NSLocalNetworkUsageDescription</key>
<string>Uses local networking to communicate settings…</string>
<key>NSTemporaryExceptionAllowsInsecureHTTPLoads</key><true/>
<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
<key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key><true/>
<key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoadsForMedia</key><true/>
<key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoadsInWebContent</key><true/>
<key>NSAllowsLocalNetworking</key><true/>
<key>NSExceptionDomains</key>
<dict>
<key>localhost</key>
<dict>
<key>NSExceptionAllowsInsecureHTTPLoads</key><true/>
<key>NSIncludesSubdomains</key><true/>
</dict>
<key>mydomain.com</key>
<dict>
<key>NSExceptionAllowsInsecureHTTPLoads</key><true/>
<key>NSIncludesSubdomains</key><true/>
</dict>
</dict>
</dict>
Am I missing anything in terms of security keys or does anyone have a different
suggestions how to resolve this issue ?
Best
Alex
P.S.: Thiago: No firewalls installed and the websocket is running on localhost.
