APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • By default, applications linked against iOS9 and OSX10.11 will
not be able to make unprotected HTTP connections.
In iOS9, by default, HTTP calls will only work with TLS v1.2
configured with forward secrecy, although exceptions can be
made.
The keychain attribute kSecAttrAccessibleAlways will be
deprecated in iOS9, and IPv6 will be a requirement for the app
store.
