April 4, 2018

Thank you for all the great feedback on Charles for iOS. We have made a number of important improvements in this minor update release, including: * New icon and splash screen (while we dearly love our icon, we felt the new icon fit better on iOS) * Brotli support * Opt-out for Fabric in Charles Settings * Bug fixes including crashes, and Charles can now start correctly after you've used another VPN app. Charles currently uses Fabric for crash reporting and usage stats. We will be removing Fabric in a future release, once we have been able to replace its crash reporting function.

Price History of Charles Proxy

Description of Charles Proxy

Charles Proxy for iOS lets you capture and inspect network requests and responses on your iOS device. You can view metadata, headers and bodies in the app, so you can finally debug your app’s networking issues without a computer. Charles Proxy for iOS is a new app from the creators of Charles Proxy for desktop. HOW IT WORKS Turn Charles on when you want to start capturing. Charles captures your network requests and responses in the background while you test your app or website. Return to Charles to inspect the requests and responses. If you also have Charles on your desktop, you can transfer recorded sessions to your desktop to explore them on the big screen. Charles creates a local VPN on your device. All of your network traffic passes through Charles on your device, and then out to the internet as usual over either WiFi or Mobile / Cellular data. There is no remote server involved, and your data always remains private to you. FEATURES * SSL Proxying to view SSL requests in plain text * View and share request and responses bodies * Syntax highlighting for text request and response bodies * Measure network performance over WiFi or Mobile / Cellular networks * Block requests to nominated hosts * DNS spoofing

Reviews of Charles Proxy

  • Mostly doesn’t work

    I installed Charles Proxy to try to debug some SSO request issues, but it seems I need to restart the proxy and reinstall its SSL certificate after every single request. Most of the time, all requests time out. Eventually some combination of restarting the app, reinstalling the VPN profile and SSL certificate, and rebooting my phone gets it working again, but only for a few minutes.
  • Such a great app

    Hope there are some updates soon!
  • Unable to decrypt https

    It wasn’t able to decrypt https traffic for most apps. Since almost all apps use HTTPS nowadays, this is a dealbreaker :(

    I made sure that the root CA was installed and “trusted”. I uninstalled it and re-installed it to no avail.
