How to POST { "username"="usernameValue" "password"="passsworValue" } as json body in objective c

Question

I tried Like this..

-(void)GetCartIdDetails{

    dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 0), ^{
        NSString *post = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"username=%@&pasword=%@",self.TextUsername.text,self.TextPassword.text];
        NSData *postData = [post dataUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding allowLossyConversion:YES];
        NSString *postLength = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%lu",(unsigned long)[postData length]];
        NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init];
        [request setURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://192.168.0.21/mahroosa/rest/V1/integration/customer/token"]];

        [request setValue:@"application/json; charset=UTF-8" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Type"];
        [request setValue:postLength forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Length"];
        [request setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];
        [request setHTTPBody:postData];
        NSURLSession *session = [NSURLSession sessionWithConfiguration:[NSURLSessionConfiguration defaultSessionConfiguration]];

        //MultiThreading
        if (postData){
            dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
                [[session dataTaskWithRequest:request completionHandler:^(NSData *data, NSURLResponse *response, NSError *error) {
                    NSString *requestReply = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];

                    //removing Double Qoutes From String
                    NSString *Replace =[requestReply stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"\"" withString:@""];

                    NSLog(@"requestReply: %@", Replace);

                }] resume];
            });
        }
    });
}

Using AFNetworking:

-(void)Gettok {

    NSString* URLString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://192.168.0.21/mahroosa/rest/V1/integration/customer/token"];
    AFHTTPSessionManager *manager = [AFHTTPSessionManager manager];
    AFJSONRequestSerializer *requestSerializer = [AFJSONRequestSerializer serializer];

    [requestSerializer setValue:@"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Accept"];
    [requestSerializer setValue:@"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Type"];


    manager.requestSerializer = requestSerializer;

    NSMutableDictionary *params = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
    [params setObject:self.TextUsername.text forKey:@"username"];
    [params setObject:self.TextPassword.text forKey:@"password"];

        [manager POST:URLString parameters:params progress:nil success:^(NSURLSessionDataTask * _Nonnull task, id  _Nullable responseObject) {
            NSError * error;
             NSArray *result = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:responseObject options:NSJSONReadingMutableContainers error:&error];
            NSLog(@"--------------------respons : %@--------------------",result);
        } failure:^(NSURLSessionDataTask * _Nullable task, NSError * _Nonnull error) {
            NSLog(@"----------------------Error ; %@------------------------------",error);
        }];
}

The content type of the request body. Set this value "Content-Type:application/json"

In response i get decode error message.I already got the get JSON getrequest working in AFNetworking but this post request is giving me some problems. Thanks for help in advance.

In the first NSURLSession style you don't send json to the service. Try it like this:

-(void)GetCartIdDetails{
 dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 0), ^{
            NSDictionary *dict = @{@"username":self.TextUsername.text,
                                   @"password":self.TextPassword.text};


                     NSData *postData = [NSJSONSerialization dataWithJSONObject:dict options:NSJSONWritingPrettyPrinted error:nil];
                       NSString *postLength = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%lu",(unsigned long)[postData length]];
                       NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init];
                       [request setURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://192.168.0.21/mahroosa/rest/V1/integration/customer/token"]];

                       [request setValue:@"application/json; charset=UTF-8" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Type"];
                       [request setValue:postLength forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Length"];
                       [request setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];
                       [request setHTTPBody:postData];
                       NSURLSession *session = [NSURLSession sessionWithConfiguration:[NSURLSessionConfiguration defaultSessionConfiguration]];

                       //MultiThreading
                       if (postData){
                           dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
                               [[session dataTaskWithRequest:request completionHandler:^(NSData *data, NSURLResponse *response, NSError *error) {
                                   NSString *requestReply = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];

                                   //removing Double Qoutes From String
                                   NSString *Replace =[requestReply stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"\"" withString:@""];

                                   NSLog(@"requestReply: %@", Replace);

                               }] resume];
                           });
                       }
            });
}
