Fiddler - Xamarin Forms - Local Azure Backend - iOS simulator

I've got:

I'm debugging a Xamarin Forms app on Xamarin iOS Simulator on PC.

When I browse in safari within Xamarin iOS Simulator, Fiddler captures it. However, when my app makes some requests to my local backend (HTTP not HTTPS) I don't see them. If I run the app in a Windows simulator, the requests are captured.

Am I missing a step?

I can now use Fiddler with Azure mobile app, Xamarin and ios tks to @user6581605 as well as this post: https://shellmonger.com/2016/06/23/using-modernhttpclient-with-azure-mobile-apps/

I installed the modernhttpclient nuget from Paul Betts : https://www.nuget.org/packages/modernhttpclient/

Then I instanciate my MobilerServiceClient this way:

var client = new MobileServiceClient("https://mysite.azurewebsites.net",
    new ModernHttpClient.NativeMessageHandler());

To finish update info.plist with

<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
    <dict>
        <key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
        <true/>
        <key>NSExceptionDomains</key>
        <dict>
            <key>yourdomain.com</key>
            <dict>
                <key>NSIncludesSubdomains</key>
                <true/>
                <key>NSThirdPartyExceptionRequiresForwardSecrecy</key>
                <false/>
            </dict>
       </dict>
  </dict>
