Hey all, so I am attempting to make a POST request...

# ktor

Hey all, so I am attempting to make a POST request in a unit test using ktor on iOS (native) and I get this certificate error.

io.ktor.client.engine.ios.IosHttpRequestException: Exception in http request: Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1202 "The certificate for this server is invalid..."

Any ideas on how to solve this? (this request works on every other device I've tried.)

Hi @bsimmons, could you tell me if you're using a device or a simulator?

[bsimmons]

I am using a simulator.

Could you check that you have all root certs on the simulator? You also can set custom handleChallenge in the iOS engine config to bypass this check.

I'm not entirely sure how checking the root certs works on the simulator.

@russhwolf Pure gold. That answer got things working. Thanks for the help!

The youtrack issue worked for me today Sept 2024 😆 . 4 years after this slack was posted. Damn
