RestKit - Mapping Entities with CoreData - Response Error

Question

I'm building an iOS app that needs to implement search results from Foursquare. I'm using RestKit, but keep running into the same error: "no response descriptors match the response loaded"

Here's the relevant portion of my code:

    RKObjectManager *objectManager = [RKObjectManager managerWithBaseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"https://api.foursquare.com/v2"]];
objectManager.managedObjectStore = managedObjectStore;

[RKObjectManager setSharedManager:objectManager];

RKEntityMapping *entityMapping = [RKEntityMapping mappingForEntityForName:@"Venue" inManagedObjectStore:managedObjectStore];
[entityMapping addAttributeMappingsFromDictionary:@{
 @"name":         @"name",
 @"id":           @"id",
 @"canonicalUrl": @"canonicalUrl"}];
entityMapping.identificationAttributes = @[@"id"];

RKResponseDescriptor *responseDescriptor = [RKResponseDescriptor
                                            responseDescriptorWithMapping:entityMapping
                                            pathPattern:@"/v2/venues/search"
                                            keyPath:nil
                                            statusCodes:RKStatusCodeIndexSetForClass(RKStatusCodeClassSuccessful)];

[objectManager addResponseDescriptor:responseDescriptor];

//Create strings for auth
clientID = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:kCLIENTID];
clientSecret = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:kCLIENTSECRET];

[self loadVenues];

loadVenues Method:

    NSString *currentLatLon = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%1$f,%2$f", locationManager.location.coordinate.latitude, locationManager.location.coordinate.longitude];
NSDictionary *queryParams = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
                             @"20130601",@"v",
                             currentLatLon,@"ll",
                             clientID,@"client_id",
                             clientSecret,@"client_secret", nil];
[[RKObjectManager sharedManager]
getObjectsAtPath:@"https://api.foursquare.com/v2/venues/search"
parameters:queryParams
success:^(RKObjectRequestOperation *operation, RKMappingResult *mappingResult) {
    //Do something
    }
failure:^(RKObjectRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
    //Do something else
    UIAlertView *alertView = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"An Error Has Occurred" message:[error localizedDescription] delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil];
    [alertView show];
}];

Core Data Model:

And here's the kind of JSON data that I'm trying to parse:

representation: {
meta =     {
    code = 200;
};
response =     {
    venues =         (
                    {
            canonicalUrl = "https://foursquare.com/v/union-square/40bbc700f964a520b1001fe3";

Here's what I've figured out after looking at Wain's suggestion.

At runtime RestKit couldn't find my responseDescriptor. Here's what I changed to get my responseDescriptor recognized:

RKResponseDescriptor *responseDescriptor = [RKResponseDescriptor
                                            responseDescriptorWithMapping:entityMapping
                                            pathPattern:nil
                                            keyPath:@"response.venues"
                                            statusCodes:RKStatusCodeIndexSetForClass(RKStatusCodeClassSuccessful)];

After changing that and making sure that I was using the right paths (always double check your paths!), I noticed that my keys weren't being mapped properly.

The problem is that I named one of my keys "id" in the entity model. "id" is a system keyword and caused a whole slew of funky compiler errors.

I just had to go back to my data model and adjust my Attributes.

    RKEntityMapping *entityMapping = [RKEntityMapping mappingForEntityForName:@"Venue" inManagedObjectStore:managedObjectStore];
[entityMapping addAttributeMappingsFromDictionary:@{
 @"name":         @"name",
 @"id":           @"venueID",
 @"canonicalUrl": @"canonicalUrl"}];
entityMapping.identificationAttributes = @[@"venueID"];
