After doing a POST request to the server, the returned object is un-mappable, although I've created all the necessary infrastructure for it.
To simplify my problem, I've created a "POST object" class, and another one for the response object; (below are the important bits of my code)
Request
{
"USERNAME" : 280S808D08s,
"PASSWORD" : "lkjl123kjl",
"DEVICE" : 12345
}
Response
{
"firstname": "first name here",
"lastname": "last name here",
"mobile": "012938012839",
"email": "john@smith.com",
"expiry": "2016-05",
"authorized": true
}
@interface Login : NSObject
@property NSString *USERNAME;
@property NSString *PASSWORD;
@property NSString *DEVICE;
@end
these are the API methods;
RKObjectMapping *mapping = [RKObjectMapping mappingForClass:[Login class]];
[mapping addAttributeMappingsFromArray:@[@"USERNAME", @"PASSWORD",@"DEVICE"]];
RKRequestDescriptor *loginRequest = [RKRequestDescriptor
requestDescriptorWithMapping:[mapping inverseMapping]
objectClass:[Login class]
rootKeyPath:nil
method:RKRequestMethodPOST];
The actual request
[objectManager addRequestDescriptor:loginRequest];
// POST
Login* loginUser = [Login new];
loginUser.USERNAME = @"96150001505233";
loginUser.PASSWORD = @"gb168362";
loginUser.DEVICE = @"12345";
[[RKObjectManager sharedManager] postObject:loginUser
path:@"/app_dev.php/api/v2/user/login"
parameters:nil
success:^(RKObjectRequestOperation *operation, RKMappingResult *mappingResult) {
} failure:^(RKObjectRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
}];
@interface User : NSObject
@property NSString *firstname;
@property NSString *lastname;
@property NSString *email;
@property NSString *mobile;
@end
The API methods:
RKObjectMapping *userMap = [RKObjectMapping mappingForClass:[User class]];
[userMap addAttributeMappingsFromArray:@[ @"firstname", @"lastname", @"email", @"mobile"]];
RKResponseDescriptor *userResponse = [RKResponseDescriptor
responseDescriptorWithMapping:userMap
method:RKRequestMethodPOST
pathPattern:@"user/login"
keyPath:nil
statusCodes:RKStatusCodeIndexSetForClass(RKStatusCodeClassSuccessful)];
[objectManager addResponseDescriptor: userResponse];
I've spaced it neatly to make it more readable.

This likely indicates that you have misconfigured the key paths for your mappings., keyPath=null, DetailedErrors=( )}}, keyPath=null, NSLocalizedDescription=No response descriptors match the response loaded.}
Please help :(
The solution was rather simple. My keyPath was wrong for the POST request. Just had to modify it to this;
[[RKObjectManager sharedManager] postObject:loginUser
path:@"user/login"
parameters:nil
success:^(RKObjectRequestOperation *operation, RKMappingResult *mappingResult) {
} failure:^(RKObjectRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
}];
