How to Connect Your iOS Device to Charles Proxy & Debug Network Traffic!

[Rook 567.3k iPad Pro (2nd gen) 17.4 Donor]

This is a tutorial which currently cannot be found on iOSGods so I thought I would make one to help anyone that's new to web debugging.
 
Requirements:
- iOS Device. iPhone/iPod/iPad
- Working Wi-Fi Connection
- A Computer
- Charles Proxy on your Computer

- Same Wi-Fi Connection
 
 
Tutorial:
 
1. Download and install Charles Proxy on your computer from: https://www.charlesproxy.com/
 
2. Now open up Command Prompt by either searching it, or Start - Run - cmd. If you're on a Mac, see the video below.
 
3. Now once cmd window opens, enter this command:

ipconfig

4. Now you will need to get the IPv4 of your computer's Wi-Fi/Ethernet connection.
 

 
 
5. Once you have your IPv4 address, grab your iDevice and go to Settings - Wi-Fi - Tap on the rounded "i" icon your Wi-Fi's name. Now at the very end, you need to set HTTP PROXY option to 'Manual'.
 
Server: Your IPv4 Address from Step 4.
 
Port: 8888
 
Authentication: Off
 

 
 
6. Now go back to your available Wi-Fis screen so your settings are saved.
 
7. Open Charles Proxy on your Computer then open a website (google.com) using a browser on iOS.
 
8. Charles Proxy will prompt you whether you want to allow the connection attempt or now. You need to click on "Allow".
 

 
9. Now everything you do on your iOS device will be captured by Charles Proxy.
 
 

To disconnect, simply turn the HTTP PROXY to Off.
