Breaking change in version 2.12.0 hinders communications with non-HTTPS servers

Summary
The change introduced in commit edef4ec breaks communications with non-HTTPS servers by changing the value of "NSAllowsArbitraryLoads" to false in Info.plist. If this change was intentional we can no longer use Mattermost in our organization and it should have been made prominent in the Release Notes.
Environment Information
- Device Name: N/A
- OS Version: iOS 17.3
- Mattermost App Version: 2.12.0
- Mattermost Server Version: 9.4.1
Steps to reproduce
Using any Mattermost iOS client later than 2.12.0 try to connect to a server that is NOT utilizing HTTPS.
Expected behavior
It used to, always has, and always should work unless a "ONLY HTTPS from now on" decision has been made, in which case that should have been made public.
Observed behavior (that appears unintentional)
The app will appear to connect but no messages can be retrieved or sent, but the notifications still work (since the NotificationService module did not get this change).
Possible fixes
Change "NSAllowsArbitraryLoads" back to true in the Info.plist file.
