Originally assigned to: @NghiaTranUIT on GitHub.

Proxyman version? (Ex. Proxyman 1.4.3)

2.21.1 (22110)

macOS Version? (Ex. mac 10.14)

11.2.1

Steps to reproduce

In iOS setup guide you should mention that you must install a certificate for macOS specifically by visiting proxy.man/ssl - even if you have already done it already for setting up Proxyman debugging on-device.

https://docs.proxyman.io/debug-devices/ios-device#ios-setup-guide

Fix

Open http://proxy.man/ssl from the Safari browser on your iOS Devices in order to install the Proxyman Certificate.

Add something like "IMPORTANT: You must install a config for macOS, in addition to your iOS config.

Sorry, but it's where the first step is 1. Install Root Certificate for this mac. If you have done it, it will display a Green ticket ✅ . If not, we have to do the step 1 before moving to next steps.

Maybe I will improve the wording on the Blog to make sure it's easier to follow 😄

Here's what I did:

Installed macOS root cert and debugged some stuff on macOS.
Installed iOS app and debugged some stuff on iOS.
Then I decided I wanted to debug some iOS WebSocket stuff using the manual proxy setup on macOS.

So the part I missed was that I had to visit https://proxy.man/ssl a second time on my iOS device...

This is the part I think a small wording improvement would help.

Yay, I understand. You're using both Proxyman on macOS and Proxyman for iOS to debug. Therefore, Visit http://proxy.man/ssl when setting iPhone Proxy to macOS and from Proxyman for iOS is totally different.

I will look at the working and improve it 👍
