Introducing Charles for iOS
summary
Charles for iOS captures HTTP/HTTPS traffic directly on the device by running a Network Extension packet tunnel VPN and records requests, headers, bodies, latencies and sizes (demo shows 22 requests captured). Desktop Java code is rewritten into Swift over ~2 years from an 18‑year codebase; the app is smaller than the desktop but captures mobile-data latency and can act as a man-in-the-middle TLS after installing a root cert and shares via AirDrop to inspect sessions on the desktop.
