AFNetworking 2.0 track file upload progress

Question

I am relatively new to AFNetworking 2.0. Using the code snippet below, I\'ve been able to successfully upload a photo to my url. I would like to track the incremental uploa

The interface of AFHTTPSession doesn't provide a method to set a progress block. Instead, you'll have to do the following:

// 1. Create `AFHTTPRequestSerializer` which will create your request.
AFHTTPRequestSerializer *serializer = [AFHTTPRequestSerializer serializer];

// 2. Create an `NSMutableURLRequest`.
NSMutableURLRequest *request =
    [serializer multipartFormRequestWithMethod:@"POST" URLString:@"http://www.myurl.com"
                                    parameters:dataToPost
                     constructingBodyWithBlock:^(id formData) {
                       [formData appendPartWithFileData:imageData
                                                   name:@"attachment"
                                               fileName:@"myimage.jpg"
                                               mimeType:@"image/jpeg"];
                     }];

// 3. Create and use `AFHTTPRequestOperationManager` to create an `AFHTTPRequestOperation` from the `NSMutableURLRequest` that we just created.
AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager = [AFHTTPRequestOperationManager manager];
AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation =
    [manager HTTPRequestOperationWithRequest:request
                                     success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
                                       NSLog(@"Success %@", responseObject);
                                     } failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
                                       NSLog(@"Failure %@", error.description);
                                     }];

// 4. Set the progress block of the operation.
[operation setUploadProgressBlock:^(NSUInteger __unused bytesWritten,
                                    long long totalBytesWritten,
                                    long long totalBytesExpectedToWrite) {
  NSLog(@"Wrote %lld/%lld", totalBytesWritten, totalBytesExpectedToWrite);
}];

// 5. Begin!
[operation start];

In addition, you don't have to read the image via UIImage and then compress it again using JPEG to get an NSData. Just use +[NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:] to read the file directly from your bundle.
