I’m trying to use HttpClient in a multi-platfrom project. When I run an iOS test via Gradle, I get this in the console: NSURLSession/NSURLConnection HTTP load failed (kCFStreamErrorDomainSSL, -9807) I understand that I need to add NSAllowsArbitraryLoads into the Info.plist. But how do I do it with Kotlin? There is no Info.plist.

See https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-native/issues/2426

So I have this Info.plist. But how do I affect the values in it? It’s regenerated each time, right?

[svyatoslav.scherbina]

Yes, it is auto generated.

What you need to affect running iOS tests is to create a bundle with the test binary and your custom Info.plist.

[nestserau]

Would you point me in the direction on how to approach this?

[svyatoslav.scherbina]

Sure.
iOS application bundle is just a directory conforming to a particular layout. You can take a look to e.g. your final application bundle as an example.

I guess you have Gradle task which runs iOS test binary on the simulator. This task should be modified: it should create the test application bundle directory, put proper Info.plist and test binary into it, and then use the binary from this bundle.

Okay, thank you, I get it. I’ll try it out.

For those who will find this thread in the future. This is a piece of Gradle script that helped me:

task iosTest {
    def device = project.findProperty("iosDevice")?.toString() ?: "iPhone 8"
    dependsOn 'linkTestDebugExecutableIos'
    group = JavaBasePlugin.VERIFICATION_GROUP
    description = "Runs tests for target 'ios' on an iOS simulator"

    doLast {
        def binary = kotlin.targets.ios.compilations.test.getBinary('EXECUTABLE', 'DEBUG')
        def infoPlistSrc = file("$rootProject.projectDir/src/iosTest/resources/Info.plist")
        def infoPlistDest = file("$binary.parentFile/Info.plist")

        Files.copy(infoPlistSrc.toPath(), infoPlistDest.toPath(), StandardCopyOption.REPLACE_EXISTING)

        exec {
            commandLine 'export', 'SIMCTL_CHILD_CFNETWORK_DIAGNOSTICS=3'
            commandLine 'xcrun', 'simctl', 'spawn', device, binary.absolutePath
        }
    }
}

Yes, something like this should work.
