Debugging Proxy

Features & Capabilities

Charles Proxy for iOS lets you capture and inspect network traffic from your iOS device. View requests, responses, headers, and bodies directly in the app, making it easier to diagnose networking issues without a computer. SSL proxying and syntax highlighting help you understand encrypted traffic safely on-device.

This companion to Charles Proxy desktop can transfer sessions to your desktop for broader analysis. It creates a local VPN so all traffic passes through Charles before reaching the internet, with no remote servers involved and your data kept private. Features include host blocking, DNS spoofing, and performance measurements over Wi‑Fi or cellular to speed up development.

User Reviews

Users praise Charles Proxy for debugging iOS network traffic and its usefulness in API debugging, but recurring SSL trust/decryption problems, stability issues, and missing desktop-like features drive most negative feedback. The app can be essential when functioning, but reliability and feature gaps remain the main obstacles.

Pros

Powerful tool for inspecting iOS network traffic (HTTP/HTTPS) to debug API usage.
Convenient and well-suited for debugging, with setup that is understandable and easy to use.
Overall value for money when it works, with some users finding it essential for debugging.

Cons

SSL decryption and trust issues across many apps (root CA not trusted, certificates not being recognized, need to reinstall certificates and profiles).
Reliability problems: app can fail to start, crash on splash screen, time out, or require frequent restarts and reinstallation of certificates.
Limited feature parity with the desktop version (no breakpoints, editing requests, or easy session export/filtering).
Compatibility challenges with certain apps or app types (e.g., Flutter-based apps) and various iOS versions.

Recent reviews

Not sure why, but this doesn’t work with our app. You’d think this would be a simple thing to proxy, but somehow they’ve mucked this up. I get a whole lot of failed requests when I try to proxy. I’m disappointed that I spent money on this.

Can't view response in other languages like Arabic this needs to be fixed. Please add scripting which is very useful. Also. Regular updating and maintaining.
