Connecting the iOS app to local webapp
This MR contains several changes in the code replacing hardcoded gitter.im
references with using URL from config. There is a change to Transport security settings, allowing HTTP connections to localhost:5000
. Lastly, the updated README explains the necessary steps for connecting to the local webapp.
Thank you @MadLittleMods for unblocking me with the transport security settings, saving me hours if not days of struggle.
Dev notes
We were having problems with the http://localhost:5000
OAuth page just being blank and not loading. After a bit of sitting on the blank, page, we would see the following error in the Xcode output. No http
URLs were loading in the WebView
