When I run the app after pasting Alamofire.request code, it throws below error

Tried adding these to the info.plist. Still not resolved. Can you help me with this?

Sorry for the delayed response. Were you able to resolve this?
Seems like you have an issue with your certificate. Check out this StackOverflow question that may be helpful for you:

I am having a different issue with the CocoaPods tutorial. I started this yesterday and got as far as the ‘pod install’ command.

After adding:
pod ‘Alamofire’, ‘4.9.1’
to the Podfile, saving, and closing, and then running
pod install
I got the following output:

th-Kirk-143232073115:begin rjacoby$ pod install (>>My terminal line)

Analyzing dependencies
Adding spec repo trunk with CDN https://cdn.cocoapods.org/

CocoaPods 1.9.0.beta.3 is available.
To update use: sudo gem install cocoapods --pre
[!] This is a test version we’d love you to try.
For more information, see https://blog.cocoapods.org and the CHANGELOG for this version at Release 1.9.0.beta.3 · CocoaPods/CocoaPods · GitHub

[!] Unable to find a specification for alamofire (= 4.9.1)
You have either:

  • out-of-date source repos which you can update with pod repo update or with pod install --repo-update.
  • mistyped the name or version.
  • not added the source repo that hosts the Podspec to your Podfile.

I ignored the portion of the output about the CocoaPods 1.9.0.beta.3

I then tried the ‘pod repo update’ and got a promising response:
th-Kirk-143232073115:begin rjacoby$ pod repo update (>>My terminal line)

Updating spec repo trunk

but when when I again try either ‘pod install’ or ‘pod install --repo-update’ I still get the same error message:

[!] Unable to find a specification for alamofire (= 4.9.1)

Any ideas on what is going wrong. Thanks.

@ronyr Can you please help with this when you get a chance? Thank you - much appreciated! :]

I was able to get the app to run as expected using the Flavors.plist file located at “https://www.raywenderlich.com/downloads/Flavors.plist”. As a test, I copied that file to my SQL Server and am not able to download. I am new to iOS development, but it appears to be connection issue, so my question is, how do I grant access to server via code? Here’s the stack:

I had to go to Project>Target>Info and add under Custom iOS Target Properties and add the keys.

@ronyr Do you have any feedback about this? Thank you - much appreciated! :]
