I know ASIHTTPRequest works perfectly well with HTTPS. All we need is this one

  • 0

I know ASIHTTPRequest works perfectly well with HTTPS. All we need is this one line of code:

[myASIHTTPRequest setValidatesSecureCertificate:NO]

Here’s my question, I don’t have any HTTPS certificates approved by any authority, including the US government. And I am not a US citizen, and my app isn’t targeted at the US market. When I submit an app containing the above HTTPS code,

  1. Do I need to check the encryption box when submitting?
  2. If I don’t check that box, will the HTTPS code be detected? (Like an private API?)
  3. If I check that box, will I get rejected? (since I don’t have any certificates approved by any authority)
  4. If I have to get a certificate approved by someone before my app get approved by the App Store, how long will this apply-and-get-approved process be, and what about the cost?

Thanks in advance!

    Do I need to check the encryption box when submitting?

    No. Your not encrypting any data on the device, it’s only transport encryption provided by apple so don’t have to tick the box.

    If I don’t check that box, will the HTTPS code be detected? (Like an
    private API?)

    As above, it doesn’t matter.

    If I check that box, will I get rejected? (since I don’t have any
    certificates approved by any authority)

    If you tick the box you have to fill out a lot more information and your in for a long long wait just getting the legal stuff squared away before you even get to the app review..

    If I have to get a certificate approved by someone before my app get
    approved by the App Store, how long will this apply-and-get-approved
    process be, and what about the cost?

    You buy a certificate from any root certificate authority. Certificates expire, so you have to renew it when it runs out. The cost depends on who you buy the certificate from. I would recommend that you shop. You can also get wildcard certificates e.g. *.example.com that would allow you to setup any site ending in .example.com.
