POST with URL parameters and JSON body in AFNetworking

Question

I would like to make a POST call with two URL parameters and a JSON body:

URL http://example.com/register?apikey=mykey JSON { "field" : "value"} 

How can I use two different serializers at the same time as AFNNetworking? Here is my code with missing URL parameters:

 AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager = [AFHTTPRequestOperationManager manager]; manager.responseSerializer = [AFJSONResponseSerializer serializer]; [manager POST:@"http://example.com/register" parameters:json success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {

I am doing the post method

 /** * Services gateway * Method get response from server * @parameter -> object: request josn object ,apiName: api endpoint * @returm -> void * @compilationHandler -> success: status of api, response: respose from server, error: error handling */ + (void)getDataWithObject:(NSDictionary *)object onAPI:(NSString *)apiName withController:(UIViewController*)controller :(void(^)(BOOL success,id response,NSError *error))compilationHandler { controller = controller; [UIApplication sharedApplication].networkActivityIndicatorVisible = YES; AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager = [AFHTTPRequestOperationManager manager]; // set request type to json manager.requestSerializer = [AFJSONRequestSerializer serializer]; manager.responseSerializer = [AFHTTPResponseSerializer serializer]; // post request to server [manager POST:apiName parameters:object success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) { // NSError *error; NSData *jsonData = [NSJSONSerialization dataWithJSONObject:responseObject options:0 error:&error]; //NSString *JSONString = [[NSString alloc] initWithBytes:[jsonData bytes] length:[jsonData length] encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]; //// // check the status of API NSDictionary *dict = responseObject; NSString *statusOfApi = [[NSString alloc]initWithFormat:@"%@" ,[dict objectForKey:@"OK"]]; // IF Status is OK -> 1 so complete the handler if ([statusOfApi isEqualToString:@"1"] ) { [UIApplication sharedApplication].networkActivityIndicatorVisible = NO; compilationHandler(TRUE,responseObject,nil); } else { [UIApplication sharedApplication].networkActivityIndicatorVisible = NO; NSArray *errorMessages = [responseObject objectForKey:@"messages"]; NSString *message = [errorMessages objectAtIndex:0]; [Utilities showAlertViewWithTitle:apiName message:message]; compilationHandler(FALSE,responseObject,nil); } } failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) { NSString *message = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",[error localizedDescription]]; NSLog(@"Message is %@", message); NSString *errorMessage = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",[error localizedDescription]]; if (!([message rangeOfString:@"The request timed out."].location == NSNotFound)) { [Utilities showAlertViewWithTitle:apiName message:errorMessage]; } compilationHandler(FALSE,errorMessage,nil); }]; // For internet reachibility check if changes its state [self checkInternetReachibility:manager]; } 

** for example, when we call the Service **

  // calling service gateway API NSMutableDictionary *dict = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys: "field",@"value", nil]; [self getDataWithObject:dict onAPI:KGet_Preferences withController:(UIViewController*)controller :^(BOOL success, id response, NSError *error) { if( success ) { NSMutableDictionary *data = [[response valueForKey:@"data"] valueForKey:@"preferences"]; compilationHandler(success,data,error); } else { compilationHandler(success,nil,error); } }];

I believe that there is no automatic way to do this. However, there is a simple way to achieve it manually:

 - (NSMutableURLRequest *)someRequestWithBaseURL:(NSString *)baseUrl method:(NSString *)method path:(NSString *)path uriParameters:(NSDictionary *)uriParameters bodyParameters:(NSDictionary *)bodyParameters NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:path relativeToURL:[NSURL URLWithString:baseUrl]]; AFHTTPRequestSerializer *httpRequestSerializer = [AFJSONRequestSerializer serializerWithWritingOptions:0] NSMutableDictionary *parameters = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithDictionary:bodyParameters]; if ([httpRequestSerializer.HTTPMethodsEncodingParametersInURI containsObject:method]) { [parameters addEntriesFromDictionary:uriParameters]; } else { NSURLComponents *urlComponents = [NSURLComponents componentsWithURL:url resolvingAgainstBaseURL:YES]; // For urlEncodedString, check http://stackoverflow.com/a/718480/856549 urlComponents.percentEncodedQuery = [uriParameters urlEncodedString]; url = [urlComponents URL]; } NSError *error; NSURLRequest *request = [httpRequestSerializer requestWithMethod:method URLString:[url absoluteString] parameters:parameters error:&error];
