Post Request with AFHttpRequestOperationManager not working

Question

I am using AFHTTPRequestOperationManager to post some JSON to my server, my code is below.

NSDictionary *parameters = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithObjectsAn

You need to set your request and response serializers to handle JSON using AFJSONRequestSerializer and AFJSONResponseSerializer before executing your request. Using an NSDictionary literal for your parameters helps code clarity as well:

AFSecurityPolicy *policy = [[AFSecurityPolicy alloc] init];
[policy setAllowInvalidCertificates:YES];

AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *operationManager = [AFHTTPRequestOperationManager manager];
[operationManager setSecurityPolicy:policy];
operationManager.requestSerializer = [AFJSONRequestSerializer serializer];
operationManager.responseSerializer = [AFJSONResponseSerializer serializer];

[operationManager POST:@"posturl here" 
            parameters: @{@"name":  @"john",
                        @"email":   @"xxxxx@gmail.com",
                        @"password: @"xxxxx",
                        @"type":    @"1"}
               success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
                   NSLog(@"JSON: %@", [responseObject description]);
               } 
               failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
                   NSLog(@"Error: %@", [error description]);
               }
];
