NSAppTransportSecurity for Exception of 2 domains

Question

Since my domain doesn't have an SSL Certificate atm I use the NSExceptionDomains to allow the domain to load anyway.

I use the following code in the Info.plist to allow both the domain and it's subdomains

<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
    <dict>
        <key>NSExceptionDomains</key>
        <dict>
            <key>infever.com</key>
            <dict>
                <key>NSIncludesSubdomains</key>
                <true/>
                <key>NSTemporaryExceptionAllowsInsecureHTTPLoads</key>
                <true/>
            </dict>
        </dict>
    </dict>

However, I'd like to pass through 2 domains this time since some parts of the app is from a different domain.

I tried just adding another key like this:

<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
    <key>NSExceptionDomains</key>
    <dict>
        <key>infever.com</key>
        <key>gentsgroup.com</key>
        <dict>
            <key>NSIncludesSubdomains</key>
            <true/>
            <key>NSTemporaryExceptionAllowsInsecureHTTPLoads</key>
            <true/>
        </dict>
    </dict>
</dict>

But that didn't work. What would be the proper way of doing it?

<dict>
    <key>yourFirstDomain.com</key>
    <dict>
        <key>NSExceptionAllowsInsecureHTTPLoads</key>
        <true/>
        <key>NSExceptionMinimumTLSVersion</key>

        <true/>
        <key>NSExceptionMinimumTLSVersion</key>
        <string>TLSv1.2</string>
        <key>NSExceptionRequiresForwardSecrecy</key>
        <true/>
        <key>NSIncludesSubdomains</key>
        <true/>
        <key>NSRequiresCertificateTransparency</key>
        <false/>
        <key>NSThirdPartyExceptionAllowsInsecureHTTPLoads</key>
        <false/>
        <key>NSThirdPartyExceptionMinimumTLSVersion</key>
        <string>TLSv1.2</string>
        <key>NSThirdPartyExceptionRequiresForwardSecrecy</key>
        <true/>
    </dict>
</dict>

just copy this dictionary under your NSAppTransportSecurity and replace yourFirstDomain.com with you first domain and yourSecondDomain.com with your second domain

Try this. This is for Per-Domain Exceptions only so seperating them might work. Otherwise you can completely disable ATS (look at the 2nd set of code)

Mutiple Domains (Seperate Dict's)

<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
    <key>NSExceptionDomains</key>
    <dict>
        <key>infever.com</key>
        <dict>
            <key>NSIncludesSubdomains</key>
            <true/>
            <key>NSTemporaryExceptionAllowsInsecureHTTPLoads</key>
            <true/>
        </dict>
    </dict>
    <dict>
        <key>gentsgroup.com</key>
        <dict>
            <key>NSIncludesSubdomains</key>
            <true/>
            <key>NSTemporaryExceptionAllowsInsecureHTTPLoads</key>
            <true/>
        </dict>
    </dict>
</dict>

Disable ATS Completely

<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
  <!--Include to allow all connections (DANGER)-->
  <key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
      <true/>
</dict>
