Secure networking
- [Instructor] App transport security is a feature that requires iOS apps to connect to their backend server using a secure TLS channel. Apple planned to enforce this requirement by the end of 2016. Eventually, they postponed the deadline. Although developers can opt out and disable ATS, it is recommended to support encrypted communication and switch to HTTPS as soon as possible. By using unencrypted HTTP connections, we expose sensitive unprotected data that can be easily intercepted by attackers.
