Apple says all apps must use its ATS security protocol by end of 2016
Moving forward, apps on iOS that communicate with a server will be more secure, as Apple is making its App Transport Security (ATS) feature mandatory.
By the end of 2016, apps submitted to the App Store will need to adopt the protocol, which secures communication between an app and its server.
Ahead of the announcement in a session at WWDC, Apple only suggested that developers use ATS as soon as possible. It’s on by default in iOS 9 and macOS (OS X?) 10.11.
Apple notes ATS “prevents accidental disclosure” of personal information, and “provides secure default behavior” for apps.
