put an upstream proxy on iOS

[Elias]

Hello,

i would like to recover a request of an IOS app. this application has many security which means that to recover a request it is necessary to use an upstream proxy like smart proxy.
It’s possible to do this on ios with fiddler ?
or is it possible to change the proxy configurations so as not to be detected by the application ?

this application use https requests and it is after accepting the certificate for https requests that the application detects the fiddler proxy.

Thanks for your help 😉

Hi Elias,

If the iOS application does not trust user-installed CAs, Fiddler won't be able to capture its secure traffic (HTTPS). However, if the application doesn't reject the Fiddler certificate, that would indicate that the issue is elsewhere (as, by default, all iOS applications will respect the manual proxy configuration that you have explicitly set for your active WiFi connection). If you have access to the application codebase, you could temporarily allow the app's request to go through the proxy, but there is not much you can do for an application in production.
