Unable to Save AFNetworking responseObject

Question

I'm calling a web service using AFNetworking and saving the return data in NSDictionary object. But nothing's being stored in it, even when data is successfully logged in NSLog().

This is my dictionary:

@property (strong, nonatomic) NSDictionary *newsItems;

and this is my codes:

AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager = [AFHTTPRequestOperationManager manager];
    NSDictionary *parameters = @{@"key": @"keyy", @"q": @"ads" };
    [manager POST:BaseURLString parameters:parameters success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
        self.newsItems = (NSDictionary *) responseObject;
        NSLog(@"JSON: %@", responseObject);
    } failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
        NSLog(@"Error: %@", error);
    }];

Answer 1

First, check whether you're getting any response from web service using the below line:

NSLog(@"RESPONSE : %@", operation.responseString);

Second, if your web service is supposed to return an array of dictionaries, then you should declare an array instead on dictionary.

@property (strong, nonatomic) NSArray *newsItems;

instead of

@property (strong, nonatomic) NSDictionary *newsItems;
