Thanks, @eskimo. This helps me understand why we are getting the error. Appreciate your help !!

@eskimo, Thanks for the response. I totally understand the importance of HTTPS. But, if they are strictly intranet and when I clearly included exception domains, I don't see how it is a security threat. Anyways, I am still wondering, what could have caused this behavior now when a similar setup was working before.

More info if it is of any help.... Is this a restriction enforced in ios 14.x versions? Our app used to work fine connecting to HTTP services before. The changes we did were, upgrading the Cordova ios platform version, UIWebView to WKWebView.

I meant lab, dev, QA ...
