How to Inspect Live iOS App Network Traffic // Charles Proxy

[@ValentinaGimenez-t3z]

For the newer iOS versions, the "Profile" setting is now located inside "VPN & Device Management", in case you can't find it 👍Amazing video my friend, thank you so much!!!! Nobody at my IT job knew how to help me with this lol but you did help me solve it!! I will subscribe and recommend this video :)

[@AnonymousAccount514]

I love how chill this guy is

Just wow, clear and to the point. Many thanks!!

[@DataSlayerMedia]

Glad it was helpful!

[@julia_blake]

Your voice is so calm and nice ❤ thank you, it helped me a lot!

[@hentie5371]

Great video that demonstrated how to actually use charles, as there are already tons of configuration videos out there, but I couldn't find anything that shows me how to quickly enable SSL proxy for a certain domain, and also how to inspect the responses. Thanks.

[@DataSlayerMedia]

You're very welcome!

@K3shavGaming can you set the Nord VPN on PC? When you proxy network, the iOS will be using the VPN set on the PC. I had the same use case when I needed the VPN on my phone, so I ended up doing what I mentioned above. Also, I ended up using Fiddler not Charles, it seems to be more user friendly.

[@LaBonneVentree]

One of the greatest videos I have ever seen on this platform. Thank you for your work!

[@carapungo]

this was good, however you forgot to mention how to configure the charles proxy on the mac itself, this is a very important detail.....no?

[@barrywest8281]

Can you do a tutorial on how to pull logs from an app using Charles please, I would really appreciate it.

[@mohanakrishna50]

Does the app need to in debug mode? Can i get the live app from app store n able to do see http trafic? Needed in sight on it

[@Hyp3rSnip3rUK]

Thanks for this! 👍

Very clear explanation, thank you.

[@jorgeenriquezm]

Such a great explanation. Thanks.

[@andywang4189]

Very useful, thanks a lot

[@taiwoodetola5987]

perfect, clear and precise. thank you. T for Thanks 😁

[@WaxN-ey6vj]

Thanks!! Where can I give you tip?

[@tzuuyaolee9402]

thx. but I still seeing "unknown" after "Enable SSL Proxing" + refresh, do u know why?

[@Lucas-vb9cw]

Hello, thx for the video it really helped me. Though I am trying to analyse requests of one specific app on my iPhone. I can detect everything but as soon as I turn on the ssl proxying for that domain, the app stops working. After some research I have figured out that the app used something called ssl pinning. Is there anyway to bypass it easily without jailbreaking my iPhone or another way of analyzing encrypted requests made by the app on Charles Proxy?

[@DataSlayerMedia]

Admittedly some apps have ways to block this man in the middle setup.

[@DanLeNamek]

Hi, I have the same problem. Did you manage to find a way to bypass without jailbreaking?

[@Bobab0y]

You have to jailbreak to bypass , it's handy to have and older version device specifically for these use cases @@DanLeNamek

[@cynthiatorresmorales]

thanks :) very good video

[@Ronnie7X]

Do you need a special kind of router?

[@dgamah7460]

When i close the charles app on my macbook i cannot visit websites on my phone anymore. It says: “Safari can’t open the page because Safari can’t connect to the server.” How can i run the traffic on the app and visit websites on my iphone while the charles app or my macbook is closed?

[@shinaboy]

It’s possible to bypass forced update app using Charles proxy ? Is there a work around . I want to keep my old app but is asking me to update new version in order to go online .

[@DataSlayerMedia]

Not that I know of.

[@bittusharma33007]

internet is not working on my iphone after adding manual proxy in wifi setting. Any Solution?

[@DataSlayerMedia]

Charles must be turned on when proxying or internet won't work. Just remove the manual proxy on your phone when you're done.

[@Elena-zg3mw]

Thank you ☺️

[@THEBLEKE]

Thanks!

[@DataSlayerMedia]

No problem!

[@aledabestt]

can u edit responses with the ios app

[@DataSlayerMedia]

You can with an app like Requestly

[@aledabestt]

@@DataSlayerMedia is it on app store can’t find it

[@OanhNguyen-ob4mb]

Hi, so I've been trying to get Charles to work on my Windows computer to pick up iOS network calls. I can get the calls for windows to come through for the web, but I can't get my mobile iOS device calls to come through. It seems like every time I try the manual proxy on my phone, there doesn't seem to be any internet connection in order for me to move further with downloading the appropriate certificate. I downloaded the certificate a different way by downloading it on the computer and sending it to my iOS device and opened it from there. Not sure if this is alright? The lingering issue is still 1)no internet connection 2)calls not coming through from the mobile device. Can you help me?

[@DataSlayerMedia]

Try restarting all your devices. Make sure you are targeting the correct ip address of your computer.

[@wasukalu]

i hit the same issue when try connecting from iPhone to Windows laptop. any solution u have found?

[@rakesh9792]

@Oanh Nguyen - any solution for this please?

[@cristianblanco7945]

Hey! Nice video. Do you know if there is anyway to export the traffic in a HAR file or something similar? Or is there any other tool you know that can do it?

[@anshulbali]

hey i am doing the same as you mentioned on the video but my iPhones internet stops working. i tried many time even i tried automatic proxy configuration mentioned on charles website! could you suggest me what to do?

[@DataSlayerMedia]

Hmmm I would restart your computer, make sure you getting the correct IP address from your computer - it should be listed under network settings.

[@mariafulana01]

The same thing was happening with my iPhone and the problem was that the IP address of the server had changed and I kept putting the old one. The correct IP address to put on your iPhone can be seen in Charles on: Help > SSL Proxying > Install Charles Root Certificate on a Mobile Device or a Remote Browser tab. I hope this helps!

[@parinthonmuninthon7354]

I faced the same problem and solved by disable "Private Wi-Fi Address" hope this help !

[@TheLazaretho]

thanks

[@kaisertushar7554]

I want to mention one thing here. You need to have Mac to intercept iPhone requests through Charles. I used Linux PC and my iPhone won't get an internet connection through Proxy.

[@anay-208]

Nope. I used windows to intercept iPhone requests and it worked

[@SergeiK1]

You cannot see the path of the encrypted https. The only thing visible is the domain name due to SNI. Also, your request failed because you hasn't put the URL into single quotes.

[@SergeiK1]

@K3shavGaming So you have a tunnel on your iPhone to some server on the Internet. To capture on PC you would need to tunnel to PC (e.g. via HTTP Proxy) and tunnel back to iPhone (You would need some fancy routing + VPN server on iPhone) and then routing to Nordvnp. That seems very challenging for an already non-easy task. It makes more sense to route to PC (e.g. HTTP Proxy) and then route to VPN on PC.

[@ApoorvaDhavale]

How will you reverse engineer this app? Please explain

[@MRSMITHENTOP]

Great information but you sound creepy sometimes 😂

[@MisterGamer131]

Bro is stone 😭

[@BeyazBaron1]

My iphone is on the same network with my mac and I finished proxy setting as you say. But charles proxy doesn't catch any network trafic from my iphone.. Probably we must have charles proxy by paying cost.

[@BeyazBaron1]

@K3shavGaming actually charles proxy can't catch network trafik in some country. I tried almost everything but it can't. After than I found another one named Proxyman and I install its certificates on my mac. It works very good.
