I can't seem to be able to add this to my info.plist. There is no value it. I'm running XCode Version 7.0 beta (7A121l), and testing on iOS9.

Because I can't specifically declare what URL's I want as seen in the video, I keep getting "App Transport Security has blocked a cleartext HTTP (http://) resource load since it is insecure. Temporary exceptions can be configured via your app's Info.plist file" errors.

However, I don't seem to be able to configure it. Any ideas?

try With this --- worked for me in Xcode-beta 4 7.0

<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
    <key>NSExceptionDomains</key>
    <dict>
        <key>yourdomain.com</key>
        <dict>
            <!--Include to allow subdomains-->
            <key>NSIncludesSubdomains</key>
            <true/>
            <!--Include to allow HTTP requests-->
            <key>NSTemporaryExceptionAllowsInsecureHTTPLoads</key>
            <true/>
            <!--Include to specify minimum TLS version-->
            <key>NSTemporaryExceptionMinimumTLSVersion</key>
            <string>TLSv1.1</string>
        </dict>
    </dict>
</dict>

Also one more option, if you want to disable ATS you can use this :

<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>  
 <dict>  
      <key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key><true/>  
 </dict>

But this is not recommended at all. The server should have the SSL certificates and so that there is no privacy leaks.
