There are a few walkarounds you could use to get rid of this warning. The first thing you want to do is set your app URL in your environment to HTTPS. Also in config/app.php, set the URL fallback to HTTPS.

   }
}

That is it. On your next deployment, your application content should be served over HTTPS.
