Do iOS apps not require cert pinning by default for their respective APIs/whitelisted https domains?

  Whitelisted domains? What? Never heard of that in iOS.

    Apple introduced App Transport Security[1] with iOS 9. The setting is configured in your app's Info.plist[2].

      Yep. App Transport Security mandates that you have to explicitly whitelist the domains [0] which you want to access via plain http. This however, has nothing to do with certificate pinning, which the OP was mentioning. [0] Of course you can use the blanket NSAllowsArbitraryLoads to allow plain HTTP everywhere.
