Support client SSL certificates in iOS app

It looks like Brave on iOS does not support authentication through client SSL certificates like it does in the desktop app.

This is supported in Safari on iOS through configuration profiles: I can install a .p12 client certificate on my phone, and this will automatically be used on websites that have SSL client verification enabled.

After some searching I found that Apple does not expose these configuration profiles to other apps, but it should be possible to import client certificates into the Brave app keystore: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/qa/qa1745/_index.html

It seems like you’ve identified that Brave on iOS currently lacks support for client SSL certificates, unlike its desktop counterpart. While Safari on iOS does support client SSL certificates through configuration profiles, the same functionality is not exposed to other apps, including Brave.

However, you’ve come across a potential workaround—importing client certificates into the Brave app keystore. According to Apple’s documentation (https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/qa/qa1745/_index.html), this should be feasible.

For a more detailed and accurate solution, you may want to discuss this with the Brave community or development team. They might provide insights on any ongoing developments, workarounds, or plans to support client SSL certificates in future iOS app updates. Your findings and input could be valuable for others facing similar challenges.
