How do I check if the Postman Proxy certificate was successfully installed on my iOS simulator


To check if the Postman Proxy certificate was successfully installed on your iOS simulator, follow these steps:

1. Open the iOS Simulator:
- Launch your iOS simulator from Xcode.

2. Navigate to Settings:
- In the simulator, open the Settings app.

3. Check Certificate Trust Settings:
- Go to General > About > Certificate Trust Settings.
- Look for the Postman Proxy CA certificate in the list. If it is present, ensure that the toggle for it is enabled, indicating that it is trusted.

4. Verify HTTPS Traffic:
- To further confirm that the certificate is working, you can try to access an HTTPS site or an API endpoint from your app within the simulator. If the requests are successfully captured in Postman, the certificate is likely installed correctly.

If you encounter issues, such as not seeing the certificate or HTTPS requests failing, you may need to re-install the certificate or ensure that the proxy settings are correctly configured in both the simulator and Postman[1][2][3].
