Exacq Mobile 3 Unable to Connect on iOS

Issue

Exacq Mobile 3, version 20.06, has additional restrictions for service connections on iOS.  Apple recently deprecated UIWebView in favor of WKWebView requiring an update to the exacqVision Mobile to use WKWebView.  One of these restrictions is the requirement of CORS support for all requests.  The web service does not include these headers when performing a HTTP -> HTTPS redirect, causing the connection to fail on iOS.

Workaround

Steps to Reproduce
1. Configure the web service HTTP Policy to “Redirect to HTTPS”.2. In Mobile, add the web service explicitly listing the HTTP protocol (e.g. http://webview.exacq.com).3. The connection will hang on “Connecting” for a long period of time and eventually display “Unable to connect…”.WorkaroundEither don’t include the protocol (e.g. webview.exacq.com) or explicitly list the HTTPS protocol (e.g. https://webview.exacq.com) when adding a web service.
