Trying to build the open source Signal iOS app and connect to my own server

I'm trying to build the Signal iOS app to connect to my own Signal server.

I have already successfully built the Signal Android app to connect to my own server.

For both I followed the article, https://github.com/madeindra/setup-guide/tree/master/signal-ios

Using Signal iOS build 3.13.2.6 XCode 12

I was able to get the app to build in XCode after some effort. The app ran, got through the verify phone number screen (so I assume was able to hit our server successfully and I got the SMS message through Twilio) Next was the User info screen asking for name, this crashed with this error,

**Fatal error: [OWSUploadV2.swift:78 upload(data:uploadForm:uploadUrlPath:progressBlock:)]: Error: Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-999 "cancelled" UserInfo={NSErrorFailingURLStringKey=https://xxx.cloudfront.net/, NSErrorFailingURLKey=https://xxx.cloudfront.net/, _NSURLErrorRelatedURLSessionTaskErrorKey=(**
**"LocalUploadTask <2455BE4E-077E-4FD5-B8FA-7F03FD733F70>.<1>"**
**), _NSURLErrorFailingURLSessionTaskErrorKey=LocalUploadTask <2455BE4E-077E-4FD5-B8FA-7F03FD733F70>.<1>, NSLocalizedDescription=cancelled}: file SignalCoreKit/OWSSwiftUtils.swift, line 35**

This seemed to be some kind of SSL issue, although opening the cloudfront URL in a browser or in the Android app did not have any issues.

I added the code to OWSUploadV2.swift,

class func upload(data: Data,... {
        var uploadSessionManager = self.uploadSessionManager
        let securityPolicy = AFSecurityPolicy(pinningMode: AFSSLPinningMode.none)
            securityPolicy.validatesDomainName = false
            securityPolicy.allowInvalidCertificates = true
        uploadSessionManager.securityPolicy = securityPolicy

and this seemed to solve the issue, but not sure why the issue occurred...

so this gets me to the next screen for entering a PIN, but this crashed with the error,

**Fatal error: [VersionedProfilesImpl.swift:234 didFetchProfile(profile:profileRequest:)]: Invalid credential: VerificationFailed.: file SignalCoreKit/OWSSwiftUtils.swift, line 35**

This is where I am stuck. Anyone have any ideas? Has anyone else successfully got Signal iOS connecting to their own server?
