ProxymanApp
Breakpoints/Map Local etc not working when using Atlantis over Personal Hotspot
Description
I'm using the Personal Hotspot feature of iOS between my laptop and iPhone and then using Atlantis to capture traffic. While I can see requests in Proxyman my enabled breakpoints are not triggering.
Map Local also doesn't work so it's likey neither does Map Remote but I haven't gone that far as testing.
Steps to Reproduce
- Connect a Mac and Phone using the phone's personal hotspot feature
- Install Atlantis as per the install instructions
- Enable Breakpoints and create a breakpoint for a URL that the app will making a request of
Current Behavior
See above.
Expected Behavior
Breakpoint to be executed
Environment
- App version: Version 5.3.0 (50300)
- macOS version: e.g macOS Sonoma 14.5 (23F79)
it's how Atlantis works.
Atlantis doesn't perform any mitm-proxy, so it's not capable of modifying data by using Map Local, Breakpoint, etc
Atlantis, performs the method swizzling on URLSessions's methods on runtime -> Capture the data -> Send to Proxyman for previewing. As a result, it works out of the box, no need to install any certificates or configure the proxy.
It's a known limitation, and I don't have any solution to fix it.
Here is the summary:
- To intercept/modify request/response -> Use normal proxy (with certificate)
- To inspect data without certificate/proxy -> Use Atlantis
Ah I see, that's not clear at all in the Proxyman setup UI, so it's assumed it has all the same functionality. Not an issue though I guess I can't do peer to peer proxying 😢
Might be worth under the bullet points of the supported capability just listing what it isn't capable of doing, I assumed it was a magic bullet.
Just realised I can do breakpoints in iOS app, can I import my breakpoint settings from Mac?
