> I write iOS apps, and iOS requires that all internet communications be done with HTTPS
What if the app is on the same network as the server?
I've got a Denon A/V receiver that has an HTTP interface and the Denon iOS app is able to talk to it. I've watched this via a packet sniffer and it definitely is using plain HTTP.

That's interesting. I wonder why Apple let that go by. I've had apps rejected, because they wouldn't use HTTPS. Maybe it's OK for a local WiFi connection. Even then, Apple has been fairly strict.
That said, I think that there are ways to register for exceptions.
Yeah same with a couple of apps I use, WLED, and HomeAssistant both work on HTTP.
