Installing the CA requires jumping through some hoops, but yes, intercepting traffic for apps that don’t use cert pinning isn’t that difficult on iOS.

Apps that do use cert pinning is a whole other matter, I’ve tried unsuccessfully a few times to inspect things like banking apps. Needs a rooted device at the minimum.

So I assume the white house app doesn’t do cert pinning

Also looked into this a long time ago… could someone tell me how to do this with cert pinned apps ?

In general you can't without patching the app itself, statically or at runtime using something like Frida.
