By default BearSDK supports content only through https. Thats why you have to use only https in ARGO Platform.

If you want to support http at your own risk - you are able to specify NSAllowsArbitraryLoads key to true in NSAppTransportSecurity.

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