Use Jmeter proxy to record HTTP calls from iOS simulator

Solution

With a real device it's very easy. Use the Wifi on the device (airplane mode) and set HTTP Proxy to point to your computer.

Here is a complete webinar with step by step details on recording iOS traffic with JMeter's proxy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZFch4B5Ivc (technical stuff starts at 13 minutes in)

Here is a blog with details for Android (it's the same idea for as for iOS): http://blazemeter.com/blog/load-testing-mobile-apps-made-easy

Problem

Is there any way to record http calls from native app that installed on iOS simulator, or real device ? My main goal is to build test plan by playing the app and recording the calls. Any help or creative idea is welcome :) Thanks, Yossi
