Here you have an example sending a raw json:

NSDictionary *dict = ...
NSError *error;
NSData *dataFromDict = [NSJSONSerialization dataWithJSONObject:dict
                                                           options:NSJSONWritingPrettyPrinted
                                                             error:&error];

AFURLSessionManager *manager = [[AFURLSessionManager alloc] initWithSessionConfiguration:[NSURLSessionConfiguration defaultSessionConfiguration]];

NSMutableURLRequest *req = [[AFJSONRequestSerializer serializer] requestWithMethod:@"POST" URLString:YOUR_URL parameters:nil error:nil];

req.timeoutInterval = 30;
[req setValue:@"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Type"];
[req setValue:@"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Accept"];
[req setValue:IF_NEEDED forHTTPHeaderField:@"Authorization"];

[req setHTTPBody:dataFromDict];

[[manager dataTaskWithRequest:req completionHandler:^(NSURLResponse * _Nonnull response, id  _Nullable responseObject, NSError * _Nullable error) {
    if (!error) {
        NSLog(@"%@", responseObject);
    } else {
        NSLog(@"Error: %@, %@, %@", error, response, responseObject);
    }
}] resume];
