Apple will require HTTPS connectivity for iOS apps by the end of 2016

Question

I read a lot of blogs and discussed the reorganization of " Apple will require HTTPS connectivity for iOS applications by the end of 2016 , but I'm still not sure if this security check is for APPLE APP Store only or it will also apply to a corporate application that usually not sent to the application store.

I have an enterprise application that uses some Http connections that cannot be easily ported to Https.

What about this situation? Will the application shut down or will it work fine?

Answer 1

Apple still requires an Https connection, but currently we have the option to bypass Transport Security through the application information panel. I think that in the future this option will stop working completely, so updating your server will be required to protect the server.
