SSL/TLS socket write JIT-ted on iOS

Hi folks, just wanna to bump / share info with this issue -

As the title says, secure socket write is currently a no go on iOS; so if you're e.g. trying to authenticate against any REST service via secure layer, the request cannot be made and you're out of luck

More specifically, judging from Unity github sources, a property of a Mono's internal class is reflected ( so no compile time enforcing is possible ) - which should resolved / worked around in current Mono, but unfortunately the Unity fork lags few years behind and still contains the JIT buggy implementation ;/

for the curious:
Unity implementation -
https://github.com/Unity-Technologi...lass/System/System.Net/WebConnection.cs#L1086
current Mono -
https://github.com/mono/mono/blob/master/mcs/class/System/System.Net/WebConnection.cs#L1166


This case is reported as #555589 10 days ago, but unfortunately no reply from QA so far (non zero days of summer-)

So hopefully this helps someone should he/she bump into something similar

 

Good catch r618 (sounds like I'm in a Get Smart episode!)

I just raised a similar issue at http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/195945-Why-doesn-t-HttpWebRequest-work-on-iOS and Graham kindly pointed out this thread. Ty for the info. Maybe we can move it along. Seems like a bit of a showstopper.

 

Hi

Just posted a response to that thread:

Hope that helps.

Cheers

I have exactly the same issue as r618 and it is a showstopper.

Did any of you guys receive any news on Unity doing anything about this?

 

no

 

Bummer :|

 

Ask them?

 

Just threw all my votes on this (suggested in 2012):
http://feedback.unity3d.com/suggestions/upgrade-to-mono-30

I guess most users don't see/have the need for this, then it would probably been done a while ago.

 

A HttpWebRequest over HTTPS works for me on iOS, but only if I have the API Compatibility Level set to .NET 2.0 Subset. If I have it set to .NET 2.0 then I get the JIT compile error in the original post. I've submitted a bug report (#616387).

 

thanks for the info

( IIRC unfortunately Spring.Social framework which I've tried to use wouldn't compile with subset :/ )

 

it's reproduced and confirmed ( sorry for the delay ))

 

Yo,

We are experiencing a connection issue with SSL as well and was wondering if there have been any developments on this thread.

 

I think this call passed using IL2cpp, but I'm not sure; it's worth a try though

 

This is happening in the editor as well as on device. The first SSL attempt we make fails and times out. Then we automatically retry connection and it succeeds the second time. We experience this around a third of the time we start the app. After it succeeds it always succeeds but the first attempt usually fails.

Thanks,
