afnetworking 3.0 Migration: how to POST with heade

Question

I am trying to make a POST request which has HTTPHeader Fields and a HTTP body to the youtube API.

Previously in version 2.0 of AFNetworking, I used to do it this way which worked:

NSDictionary *parameters = @{@"snippet": @{@"textOriginal":self.commentToPost.text,@"parentId":self.commentReplyingTo.commentId}};

NSString *url = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/comments?part=snippet&access_token=%@",[[LoginSingleton sharedInstance] getaccesstoken]];

NSMutableURLRequest *request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:url]];
[request setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];
[request setValue:@"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Type"];
NSError *error;
NSData *jsonData = [NSJSONSerialization dataWithJSONObject:parameters
   options:0
     error:&error];
NSString *jsonString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:jsonData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

// And finally, add it to HTTP body and job done.
[request setHTTPBody:[jsonString dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];



AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager = [AFHTTPRequestOperationManager manager];
manager.requestSerializer.timeoutInterval=[[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] valueForKey:@"timeoutInterval"] longValue];
manager.requestSerializer = [AFJSONRequestSerializer serializer];
AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation = [manager HTTPRequestOperationWithRequest:request progress:nil success:^(NSURLSessionTask *task, id responseObject) {
    NSLog(@"Reply JSON: %@", responseObject);


    }
} failure:^(NSURLSessionTask *operation, NSError *error) {
    NSLog(@"Error: %@, %@, %@, %@, %@", error, operation.responseObject, operation.responseData, operation.responseString, operation.request);

}];
[operation start];

The migration docs for version 3.0 replaces AFHTTPRequestOperationManager with AFHTTPSessionManager However I can't seem to find a HTTPRequestOperationWithRequest method for the AFHTTPSessionManager.

I tried using the constructingBodyWithBlock but it doesn't work maybe because I am not doing it correctly.

This is what I have so far which doesn't work:

NSDictionary *body = @{@"snippet": @{@"topLevelComment":@{@"snippet":@{@"textOriginal":self.commentToPost.text}},@"videoId":self.videoIdPostingOn}};

NSError *error;
NSData *jsonData = [NSJSONSerialization dataWithJSONObject:body
   options:0
     error:&error];
NSString *jsonString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:jsonData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

AFHTTPSessionManager *manager = [AFHTTPSessionManager manager];
AFJSONRequestSerializer *serializer = [AFJSONRequestSerializer serializer];
serializer.timeoutInterval= [[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] valueForKey:@"timeoutInterval"] longValue];
[serializer setValue:@"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Type"];
[serializer setValue:@"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Accept"];


[manager POST:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/commentThreads?part=snippet&access_token=%@",[[LoginSingleton sharedInstance] getaccesstoken]] parameters:nil constructingBodyWithBlock:^(id<AFMultipartFormData>  _Nonnull formData) {

    [formData appendPartWithHeaders:nil body:[jsonString dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];

}  progress:nil success:^(NSURLSessionDataTask * _Nonnull task, id  _Nullable responseObject) {
    NSLog(@"Reply JSON: %@", responseObject);

} failure:^(NSURLSessionDataTask * _Nullable task, NSError * _Nonnull error) {
    NSLog(@"Error: %@, %@, %@, %@, %@", error, operation.responseObject, operation.responseData, operation.responseString, operation.request);

}];

Accepted answer of #Pranoy C is converted for AFNetworking 3.0

    NSError *writeError = nil;

    NSData* jsonData = [NSJSONSerialization dataWithJSONObject:params options:NSJSONWritingPrettyPrinted error:&writeError];
    NSString* jsonString = [[NSString alloc]initWithData:jsonData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

    NSMutableURLRequest *request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:url] cachePolicy:NSURLRequestReloadIgnoringCacheData  timeoutInterval:120];

    [request setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];
    [request setValue: @"application/json; encoding=utf-8" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Type"];
    [request setValue: @"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Accept"];
    [request setHTTPBody: [jsonString dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];

    AFURLSessionManager *manager = [[AFURLSessionManager alloc] initWithSessionConfiguration:[NSURLSessionConfiguration defaultSessionConfiguration]];

    [[manager dataTaskWithRequest:request uploadProgress:nil downloadProgress:nil completionHandler:^(NSURLResponse * _Nonnull response, id  _Nullable responseObject, NSError * _Nullable error) {

        if (!error) {
            NSLog(@"Reply JSON: %@", responseObject);

            if ([responseObject isKindOfClass:[NSDictionary class]]) {
                //blah blah
            }
        } else {

            NSLog(@"Error: %@", error);
            NSLog(@"Response: %@",response);
            NSLog(@"Response Object: %@",responseObject);

        }
    }] resume];

- (instancetype)init {
self = [super init];
if (self) {
    [self configureSesionManager];
}
return self;
}

#pragma mark - Private

- (void)configureSesionManager {
sessionManager = [AFHTTPSessionManager manager];
sessionManager.responseSerializer = [AFJSONResponseSerializer serializer];
sessionManager.responseSerializer.acceptableContentTypes = [sessionManager.responseSerializer.acceptableContentTypes setByAddingObject:@"text/html"];
sessionManager.requestSerializer = [AFHTTPRequestSerializer serializer];
sessionManager.requestSerializer.timeoutInterval = 60;
}

#pragma mark - Public

- (void)communicateUsingPOSTMethod:(NSString*)pBaseURL parameterDictionary:(NSDictionary*)pParameterDictionary
                       success:(void(^)(id))pSuccessCallback failure:(void(^)(NSError* error))pFailiureCallback {

[sessionManager POST:pBaseURL parameters:pParameterDictionary progress:nil success:^(NSURLSessionTask *task, id responseObject) {
    pSuccessCallback(responseObject);
} failure:^(NSURLSessionTask *operation, NSError *error) {
    pFailiureCallback(error);
}];
}

Answer 3

 -(void)postRequest:(NSString *)urlStr parameters:(NSDictionary *)parametersDictionary completionHandler:(void (^)(NSString*, NSDictionary*))completionBlock{
        NSURL *URL = [NSURL URLWithString:urlStr];

        AFHTTPSessionManager *manager = [AFHTTPSessionManager manager];
        manager.responseSerializer = [AFHTTPResponseSerializer serializer];
        [manager POST:URL.absoluteString parameters:parametersDictionary progress:nil success:^(NSURLSessionDataTask *task, id responseObject) {
            NSError* error;
            NSDictionary* json = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:responseObject
                                                                 options:kNilOptions
                                                                   error:&error];

            completionBlock(@"Success",json);
        } failure:^(NSURLSessionDataTask *task, NSError *error) {
            NSLog(@"Error: %@", error);
            completionBlock(@"Error",nil);
        }];
    }

This method is working fine for AFNetworking 3.0.

then add request in controller

UserDetailObject *detailObject = [[UserDetailObject alloc]init];
    [NetworkManager sendRequestForSQInfo:detailObject success:^(id data) {

        NSXMLParser *parser = [[NSXMLParser alloc]initWithData:data];

        NSError *parseError = nil;
        NSDictionary *dict  = [XMLReader dictionaryForNSXMLParser:parser error:&parseError];

        NSLog(@"JSON: - %@", dict);

    } failure:^(NSError *error) {
        NSLog(@"%@",error);
    }];

For HTTPBody with JSON

[sessionManager.requestSerializer setValue:@"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Type"];
[sessionManager.requestSerializer setQueryStringSerializationWithBlock:^NSString *(NSURLRequest *request, id parameters, NSError * __autoreleasing * error) {

    NSData *jsonData = [NSJSONSerialization dataWithJSONObject:parameters options:NSJSONWritingPrettyPrinted error:error];
    NSString *argString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:jsonData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
    return argString;
}];

[sessionManager POST:urlString parameters:parameters progress:nil success:^(NSURLSessionDataTask *task, id responseObject) {

    if (completion) {
        completion(responseObject, nil);
    }

} failure:^(NSURLSessionDataTask *task, NSError *error) {

    if (completion) {
        NSData *errorData = [error.userInfo objectForKey:@"com.alamofire.serialization.response.error.data"];
        NSDictionary *responseErrorObject = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:errorData options:NSJSONReadingAllowFragments error:nil];
        completion(responseErrorObject, error);
    }
}];

For HTTPBody with custom String format

[sessionManager.requestSerializer setValue:@"application/x-www-form-urlencoded" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Type"];
[sessionManager.requestSerializer setQueryStringSerializationWithBlock:^NSString *(NSURLRequest *request, id parameters, NSError * __autoreleasing * error) {

    NSString *argString = [self dictionaryToString:parameters];
    return argString;
}];

[sessionManager POST:urlString parameters:parameters progress:nil success:^(NSURLSessionDataTask *task, id responseObject) {

    if (completion) {
        completion(responseObject, nil);
    }

} failure:^(NSURLSessionDataTask *task, NSError *error) {

    if (completion) {
        NSData *errorData = [error.userInfo objectForKey:@"com.alamofire.serialization.response.error.data"];
        NSDictionary *responseErrorObject = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:errorData options:NSJSONReadingAllowFragments error:nil];
        completion(responseErrorObject, error);
    }
}];
