SSL Error when Testing Locally on Core Mobile

[chrisfusillo]

Summary:

As a developer, I need to test web applications running on my local development machine. However, when I attempt to access my application using the local IP address of my machine (e.g., 192.168.1.125:3000), I encounter an SSL error in the Core Mobile browser:

Error Message: "An SSL error has occurred and a secure connection to the server cannot be made. Error Code: -1200."

Steps to Reproduce:

• Run a web application on localhost:3000 on a local development machine.
• Attempt to access the application using the local IP address in the Core Mobile browser (e.g., 192.168.125.1:3000).
• Observe the SSL error.

Expected Behavior:

Core Mobile should allow connections to applications running on local network IPs, or there should be an option to disable the SSL block entirely, particularly when working with Testnet enabled.

Actual Behavior:

The connection is blocked with an SSL error, making it difficult to test local web applications during development.

Proposed Solution:

Allow connections from local network IP spaces (e.g., 192.168.x.x) on Core Mobile when Testnet is enabled.
Alternatively, provide an option to disable the SSL block for development purposes.

Environment:

Core Mobile version: 0.14.15.3492
Device: iPhone 12 Pro Max
Operating System: iOS 17/18
