Summary:
WkWebView will not load urls that are plain http:// It appears to load urls that are https:// without problems. WkWebView works as expected in main iOS app. This only appears to be an issue with the extension.

Steps to Reproduce:
See attached sample project.

Run MessagesExtension target

Tap 'https' button: https://google.com loads
Tap 'http' button: http://lurefishbar.com does not load. There is no network request made (verified with http proxy Charles)

I have tested with a variety of plain http:// urls. None of them load.

Expected Results:
WkWebView loads both http and https urls.

Actual Results:
Blank WkWebView

Version:
10.0.1 (14A403)

Configuration:
iPhone 6S 128GB Verizon on Wifi

Did you try specifying your desired ATS settings in the Info.plist of your Messages extension?
