iPhone: how to circumvent SSL no certificate while using local environment - iphone

I'm currently using my iPhone to connect to my local environment on my Macbook. The part that won't work is that my local MUST be https, but its certificate is invalid. Because of this, the phone refuses to load pretty much all of the page. Does anyone know how to circumvent this? I have searched and do not find any settings on iPhone to get around it.
To add to this, here's how I'm connecting: iPhone plugged into Macbook via usb. Both connected to same wifi. In Safari, I type in https://[IP Address of my machine]:[port for server].

Internet does not work on ios/Android after connecting to Charles proxy

I have installed the root certificates on my Mac and trusted it as well.
Set up the manual proxy on Android and iOS with same IP address as the Mac.
On Charles disabled the allow list.
Enable the SSL proxy using *.
I followed all the possible steps but still on both the devices, internet does not work.
Can anybody help me with this? I am totally stuck at this point.

Unable to connect Samsung S10 to charles proxy

With device manual proxy to my Charles IP address, not seeing any traffic or prompt to allow traffic in Charles Proxy. S10 device appears to load all traffic when navigating to various URLs.
Even charlesproxy.com/ssl loads website but doesn't initiate a certificate to download.
All other android devices tested on same setup works fine. Issue seems specific to Samsung S10
So what seemed to have worked for me just now, with my mac (I assume it would be something similar for Windows) I just opened a regular browser, went to chls.pro/ssl and download the certificate file.
From there I sent it to my S10+ and opened it, which then installed it properly.
If you're trying to hook up to Android devices then beware that Google introduced security measures to not allow proxy monitoring in I believe Android 6 or 7. If the other devices you had worked fine on Android then it's probably because you were using an earlier version of Android, or, you had a debug build that allowed for proxy monitoring. I know there's a SO post somewhere that talks about this "pinning" and I know our company does this as well with debug apk's. If neither of those solutions work then it's probably a matter of getting the Charles certificate installed correctly on that phone but without more information it is hard to diagnose. Hope this helps you

Fiddler with iphone and ipad - local vhosts not working

I'm trying to run some local testing on iDevices but I must be missing something in the setup. I did that before when it all worked, so maybe someone can helpout:
I'm using Fiddler on a windows machine, have all devices set up via proxies and yes it also captures the traffic of the iphone and ipad.
I've got a few localhost vhosts set up, so running
http://mydomain.local
this works swimmingly on the windows phone via proxy to fiddler. but the iphone and ipad just says the server stopped responding.
The firewall is completely turned off and I can see all other traffic from the iDevices, so what could be the issue? Why does the iphone not read the hosts file but the windows phone does?
Almost a year late, but I had the same problem and can confirm that iOS does reserve ".local" to identify Bonjour-accessible devices
If possible just change your domain extension to something else like ".lan" and your requests will go through the Fiddler proxy as expected.

View localhost site on iPhone on OSX

I am building a .NET website with MonoDevelop on OSX Lion that is targeted for mobile devices.
On my desktop's browser, I am able to access the site via http://127.0.0.1:8080, but I would like to view it on my physical iPhone (I don't want to use the XCode simulator).
My iPhone and Mac are on the same network and I have enabled Web Sharing. I can actually get to the default Apache index.html (http://192.168.1.104:80) page, but I am not able to get to my site (http://192.168.1.104:8080).
I'm newer to the Mac and even less familiar with network management, so I hope I'm missing something very simple.
You may as well turn off web-sharing because web-sharing only operates the built-in Apache web-server.
What is happening is that the web-server that MonoDevelop is hosting your pages on has been set up to only allow connections coming from localhost. If this is the problem, entering in the lan IP of the OS X machine on the OS X machine will likely also not work (if the IP filtering work like it does on Apache).
You need to find the config files for the MonoDevelop server and allow access from addresses other than 127.0.0.1

Can an iPhone/iPod Touch application open a port for remote communication without jailbreaking?

I'm researching remote control testing for an app that'll be installed on the new iPod Touch and can't tell for certain from everything that I've read whether or not an installed app can or can't open any ports for remote test instructions (that's a mouthful : ) We created something like this for the Android using adb port forwarding and telnet, and it worked really well. Is there any chance something similar could be done on an iPhone or iPod without jailbreaking??
Sure, you have access to the traditional Unix networking layer and a Cocoa layer built on top of that as well.
