App works as expected! Ran into some small issues while creating the rules but the support team was able to help and overcome those.
Capture & Modify
HTTPS traffic from iOS Apps
Requestly can intercept, decrypt, modify, redirect, and mock HTTP(s) traffic from your iOS apps running on an emulator or an iPhone for faster development.
Requestly is user-friendly, brilliant, and easy to use. I use it on a daily basis and it makes my work easier. After using other tools like Charles – Requestly is a nice new breath of air that I highly vouch for. Apart from the tool being amazing – the support from the Requestly team is phenomenal with them always going above and beyond for their clients.

How Requestly Simplifies Your iOS Development
iOS Developers use Requestly during local development, testing, and debugging to solve various problems.
Here are the most common problems you can solve with Requestly.
Intercept HTTPS Traffic
During the development of iOS apps, watching your app’s traffic can give you better control and confidence. You can ensure data integrity, no redundant API calls, and no obvious errors in API calls before releases.
Edit the APIs in transit
Modify requests by defining simple rules to simulate different scenarios in your app like large data sets, alternative responses, empty responses, alternative request bodies, etc.
Simulate API Errors locally
Applications are developed considering different error scenarios in mind, simulating those errors on local or staging is not straightforward. Requestly can save hours of fiddling with the backend by modifying your API calls to simulate error responses.
Simulate slow network
Network conditions can be unpredictable on users’ devices, as developers we need to ensure that the app works in degraded networks and handles the network state gracefully. The delay rule enables you to simulate network delays or slow processes.
Cross environment connection
Sometimes production apps show strange bugs that are hard to debug with production APIs due to a lack of debugging info. Requestly can connect your app to staging or a local backend or vice-versa to debug locally.
GraphQL Support
GraphQL’s single-endpoint design can hinder targeted API modification. Requestly solves this with operation name filters, enabling precise response manipulation in GraphQL environments – just as you’d expect with REST APIs.
Shared Team Workspaces
All the mocks and request modification rules can be shared with team members using team workspaces. This helps in better collaboration among teams and faster delivery.
How does it work?
Requestly is easy to set up and use. First, we set up the iPhone Interception. Then, we can easily record traffic and mock & modify APIs locally by creating simple rules.
Setup App Interception
After you Download the Requestly Desktop App, setting up Requestly requires 2 easy steps to start intercepting your mobile app traffic.
Configure Wi-Fi Proxy
Download & Install Certificate
Modify Traffic
Modify API calls from the network requests table. 1 Click creation of Mock APIs, redirect network calls, modify headers, add delays to the requests, block requests, and much more.
Record Traffic
Mobile app traffic can be filtered and saved for bulk mocking, sharing with the team, or save it for referencing later. You can also create HTTP Rules to replicate those difficult edge cases.
Bulk Mock Traffic
Create mocks of all the recorded APIs from a session, it’s like creating a prod-like backend service with 1 click.

Does exactly what we need it to for testing new scripts. Also allows our sales teams to get easy access to Staging versions of our products. Support from Requestly is very strong as well.
Alexander Marttinen
Product Engineer at Stay22
Requestly’s browser extension is remarkably easy to use. As a full-stack developer, I often need to test data-intensive UI for edge cases and performance. Using Requestly I can do it very easily by mocking network requests, without needing code changes or database seeding.
