Hello,

Is there any way, using some sort of developer tools I assume, to see what domains/servers apps pull information from?

I ask because, using iOS 11 restrictions to allow "Specific Websites Only" sometimes causes apps to crash. For many apps, they are unaffected by the website restrictions and continue to work fine. For some that do crash once website restrictions are enabled, I've noticed this can be fixed by adding the obvious sites for the app (for example, adding espn.com to get the ESPN app to work). However, with other apps it can still be buggy and crash after launch, even with the obvious sites needed for it are allowed (for example, NYTimes). I assume most of the time it is attempting to connect to an ad server or something like that. Is there any way to see what websites apps are attempting to connect to, so they can be added to the website list?

Thanks.
