NSURLConnection finished with error - code -1002

That error should not be related to using HTTP instead of HTTPS. App Transport Security failures return error code -1022.

The error code -1002 indicates an invalid URL. Perhaps your HTTP live streaming playlist file contains a structurally invalid URL (e.g. missing scheme, a scheme other than http/https, etc.)?

For additional debugging, set this environment variable

CFNETWORK_DIAGNOSTICS=1

in your Xcode project and re-run the app. Once you know what URL is failing, the problem will likely become more obvious.

If it isn't, file a bug.

This issue can appear if your URL contains spaces. I solved it by replacing the spaces with "%20", and then you can use it safely. The Objective C code to replace the spaces is below.

your_url_variable_name = [your_url_variable_name stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@" " withString:@"%20"];

First thing you must use secure server (server with valid certificate).I'm not sure either it is necessary or not because i never tried to hit server with invalid certificate. You can try this code (not sure it will work for you or not) put this code in Appdelegate.m

@implementation NSURLRequest(DataController)+ (BOOL)allowsAnyHTTPSCertificateForHost:(NSString *)host{    return YES;}@end
