3. 

   To ensure that the proxy has been set, visit http://amiusing.requestly.io . If the rendered page shows success as follows, means the proxy is now correctly configured.

2. Install CA Certificate

a. Download the SSL certificate as a custom profile

1. Now open Safari on your IOS device and go to http://requestly.io/ssl(remember to use HTTP, not HTTPS).

2. This should download a custom profile on your device which contains the Requestly CA certificate..

b. Install custom iOS profile

Reverting the setup

Remember to disable the HTTP Proxy in your Settings when you stop using Requestly, otherwise, you'll get confusing network failures in your applications! You just need to set the network proxy the next time you want to debug with Requestly.
