Whilst I trust that the author did in fact look at the data of each request eventually, the screenshot they provided of Charles could not have been of the exact requests they intercepted given Charles is indicating that those are not yet SSL proxied (except for the 2 GET requests).

EDIT: please ignore, author did it differently to what I expected.

I decrypted them all by installing Charles SSL cert on the iphone. This is why the requests seem not SSL proxied.
