How to handle "CFNetwork SSLHandshake failed" in iOS

Question

Several times I get CFNetwork SSLHandshake failed -(9806) in my code, but I'm not sure why this is happening, since my code works smoothly, except when I run it on iOS 6 and then on iOS 7 64- bit I get this warning.
Can someone suggest me how to deal with this problem?

Answer 1

Usually when I get CFNetwork SSLHandshake failed -(*) Its because of my local Wi-Fi network (the device is connected to the network, but not the Internet)

Try again on a different network (3G is the fastest solution for me)

Answer 2

This may also happen due to iOS 9. iOS 9 and OSX 10.11 require TLSv1.2 SSL for all hosts on which you plan to request data if you do not specify exception domains in your application's Info.plist file.

Answer 3

Had the same problem, and after I confirmed that the server is receiving POST, this solution was as follows:

• Clear project: Product → Clear
• Remove the application from the iOS / iOS Simulator device and exit Simulator
• Compile the application and run it

In my case, just like that.

Answer 4

I had the same problem, and in my case, the solution was that in my code I wrote

 initWithScheme:@"https" 

instead

 initWithScheme:@"http" 

So make sure you use the correct protocol

Another solution: check if the date / time on the phone is set correctly. SSL certificates are valid until a certain date.
