Debug Network on connected device via charles proxy

Steps

  1. Get Charles: https://www.charlesproxy.com/latest-release/download.do

  2. Connect your device (iPhone) to the same wifi that the charles running machine (laptop) is on

  3. On your laptop, open Help » SSL Proxying » Install charles Root Cert on a Mobile Device …

    You should see something like this:

  4. Open the wifi settings on your iPhone and go to http proxy » Configure proxy » manual » enter the laptop’s IP address and the port as seen above where the port is the part after the : and the IP is the part before so for me, the Server IP is 192.168.0.6 and port is 8889

  5. Go to chls.pro/ssl on you iPhone and chose Allow. Install the cert

  6. You should start seeing the content flowing through in your charles

  7. Optional: Enable SSL proxying for the site you want if the data you’re trying to access is secured otherwise it will look garbled. In charles, find a request form the domain to enable and right click » Enable ssl proxying
