Hi, I have a $.ajax function where i have a direct api call to database to retrieve data. While i have tested all functions are working well and data returned are correct, these are not working after i have deployed them onto server and browse my web app using iOS Safari.
The static interface is loaded but not the data. Below are my sample codes:

JavaScript

var baseUrl = 'https://anythingAPI/;'

$.ajax({
       type: 'GET',
       url: baseUrl+ 'api/Customer/GetCustomerDetails',
       data: {},
       success: function (result) {
            console.log('Result Returned.')
       }
});

At first i thought is that i did not pass credential for authentication but Android Chrome is working well. Only Safari is unable to generate data.

What I have tried:

1. Removed the direct API call and replace with normal url. For example,

/Customer/GetCustomerDetails

in url and Safari works fine.
2. Tested on Android Chrome and Windows browsers(laptop) and all are working fine.

You need to enable CORS and make changes in web.config

XML

<pre><httpProtocol>
<customHeaders>
<!-- Allow Web API to be called from a different domain. -->
<add name="Access-Control-Allow-Origin" value="*" />
<add name="Access-Control-Allow-Methods" value="*" />
</customHeaders>
</httpProtocol>

It's "CORS", not "cores". :)
