I have a self-signed certificate at the endpoint of my API. I'm trying to test some things using the simulator but am getting "untrusted server certificate".
I have tried to use safari on the simulator to download the .crt file, but that doesn't seem to work.
Where does iPhone Simulator get its keychain from? How can I add a trusted certificate so my application will work?
UPDATE
I got it to work by creating a CA and then adding a CA certificate using the iPhone provisioning tool. Then I was able to have a certificate signed by that CA certificate on the API server and the NSConnection just worked. I was not able to get it to work using a self-signed certificate for some reason. I need to re-attempt this using the provisioning software.
My real question is how do I get this to work on the simulator? I would think that the simulator uses the keychain of the actual computer.

For this, open again the iOS Settings app. Then navigate to “General” > “About” > “Certificate Trust Settings”. In the section “Enable Full Trust for Root Certificates”, enable your root certificate. With this, your app can connect now with the self-signed certificate to the backend.
If you want to turn on SSL/TLS trust for that certificate, go to Settings > General > About > Certificate Trust Settings. Under "Enable full trust for root certificates," turn on trust for the certificate. Apple recommends deploying certificates via Apple Configurator or Mobile Device Management (MDM).
iOS Simulators Quit your iOS Simulator. Launch Charles and go to the Help menu. Choose the "SSL Proxying > Install Charles Root Certificate in iOS Simulators" item. This will install your Charles Root Certificate into all of your iOS Simulators.
Just for Info, if someone still runs into that problem:
simply drag & drop your .cer Files into your running Simulator window. You'll see Safari flashing and then the import dialog for your Certificate (or Certificate Authority)...
Working for iOS 7 Simulator (and i Think did work for iOS 6 too).
