iOS app SSL handshake failed

Question

I am making an app to login to an aspx website over HTTPS by passing login credentials in a post method. When checking the response using Charles Proxy I can see a SSL Handshake failed error from seal.verisign.com, I am then taken back to the login page. I am not sure what I need to do to solve this issue.

I am testing this in the iPhone simulator.

I do not have access to the server implementation.

Any ideas?

Thank you!

On iOS >= 10.3, after installing the Charles Proxy certificate (as per @ashish-verma's excellent answer), you also need to enable it through Settings -> General -> About -> Certificate Trust Settings:
