Description

Mac OS 10.13, just like iOS, to use the App Transport Security key in the Info.plist to allow HTTP requests in an appliation

When I got the installer to run, the dropdowns would come up empty and the error log would state:

Installer version 3.2.0 (mac)
Unable to load http://flex.apache.org/installer/sdk-installer-config-4.0.xml
Error while trying to load XML configuration file: 2032
Installation aborted

When ran from terminal I got:

Apache Flex SDK Installer[3746:297717] App Transport Security has blocked a cleartext HTTP (http://) resource load since it is insecure. Temporary exceptions can be configured via your app's Info.plist file.

I had to add to the /Applications/Apache Flex/Apache Flex SDK Installer.app/Contents/Info.plist:

	<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
	<dict>
		<key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
		<true/>
	</dict>

Then I was able to select which SDKs to install.
