In MacOS versions predating Steve Job's liver failure certificate drop to iOS simulator used to work. Not anymore.
Xcode 11.5 in case it matters. Drops to the device also result in safari->settings sequence not opening (but this happens without an utterance on the iOS part, UNIX legacy you know: except that mute behaviour implies success rather than failure)
So, any chance I can get this to work to get connected to an internal https site running trash certificate I have to do this whole dance for?
This is true no matter if I try a pem or cer. No way Jose. It just does not happen.
