I'm trying to convert a watchOS 1 app to watchOS 2.

But I saw an error when trying to load an image from an URL with this code:

            let url:NSURL = NSURL(string: "http://www.xxxxxxxx.com/xxx/xyz.jpg")!
            let data:NSData = try! NSData(contentsOfURL:url, options:[])
            imageone.setImage(UIImage(data: data))

The error is:

> Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=256 "The file “xyz.jpg” couldn’t be opened." UserInfo={NSURL=http://www.xxxxxxxx.com/xxx/xyz.jpg}

I read on the internet that is because of the new Application Transport Security protocol.

I also read to put

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

in the info.plist on the Watchkit extension but the same error appear.

It's the same also if I use an image in an HTTPS domain.

NOTE: On the simulator it works perfectly!

I'm using XCode 7 beta 5.

Anyone knows how to solve?

Thanks

I had a similar problem when downloading from the internet, where it worked on the simulator but not on the device.

Switching to using NSURLSession fixed that for me.

I solved creating a function:

func imageRequest(urlweb:NSURL) {

let requestURL: NSURL = urlweb

let urlRequest: NSMutableURLRequest = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: requestURL)

let session = NSURLSession.sharedSession()

let task = session.dataTaskWithRequest(urlRequest) {

(data, response, error) -> Void in

if error == nil {

NSLog("Success!")

self.imagename?.setImage(UIImage(data:data!))

} else {

NSLog("Fail")

}

task.resume()

}
