During development, before things eventually go live, if the associated server for a message filter extension has a self signed SSL then if/how can test iPhones be configured such that the OS will connect to the server when they are performing a message filter query request?
While I’ve never looked at this in the context of Message Filter Extensions specifically, my general advice is that you not use self-signed certificates for testing. Rather, set up a test CA and have that issue your server a ‘real’ certificate. See QA1948 HTTPS and Test Servers.
If you don’t already have experience running a CA, you can do this on your Mac. See Technote 2326 Creating Certificates for TLS Testing.
