Rule Definition
Disabling server trust evaluation puts the user's security at risk. Do not do it in any code you intend to ship to end users. If server trust evaluation is failing, you must understand why it's failing and decide on the best way to resolve that failure. It is not a public API and is thus not supported by Apple; moreover, use of non-public APIs is not allowed in App Store apps. This rule is compliant with OWASP M3 2016.
