@ryanheise waiting for your response. Thank you

[ryanheise]

I haven't gotten around to testing your issue yet, but you can also try the alternative approach listed here:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31254725/transport-security-has-blocked-a-cleartext-http

Since this behaviour affects any iOS app, not just Flutter apps, the above S/O post should be directly applicable.

[shadyshrif]

The provided Minimal reproduction project already uses that approach, and the problem is still not resolved

<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
    <key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
    <true/>
</dict>

[ryanheise]

As it turns out, that plist configuration you've given should work, while the one in the official example doesn't. The key NSAllowsArbitraryLoadsForMedia should be removed since it causes NSAllowsArbitraryLoads to be ignored on newer versions of iOS.

[ryanheise]

I have updated the example accordingly. Can you try testing the example now by changing the audio URL from https to http and see if it works?

[shadyshrif]

Sorry for the late reply, My example already includes NSAllowsArbitraryLoadsForMedia that's why it didn't work. https://github.com/Qariah/just_audio_http_issue/blob/e5a731e27d933f4ca476236e9d31d02ddf964917/just_audio/example/ios/Runner/Info.plist#L9

I don't have the iPhone 6 device right now, I will bring it from a friend and test again.

Thanks for your response.
