SSL urlScheme iOS "safari cannot open the page because the address is invalid"

Report · Jul 17, 2012

Hi,

The title says it all!

I have a custom URL scheme for my iOS app built in Flashbuilder - the urlScheme works and launches correctly when the page calling it is http:// however, when I am in https:// the urlScheme is not recognise - first I get a message about submitting to a non-secure url and then I get the "safari cannot open the page because the address is invalid" message.

Obviously, SSL is not the same as my urlScheme, and I can see any number of reasons for flagging that to the user, but surely it should still recognise the URL?

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

G

Are you using a self-signed certificate on your server? I was never able to successfully make https calls from Air in iOS with self-signed certificates. I have read that, if you have a certificate issued by a trusted provider, it works OK.

Hi evilches,

Yes, dev cert is self-signed, I'll give it a go, thanks. Surprised, though. I would have thought that should only effect outward, ssl calls?
