Answer 1

I have used same AFNetworking to upload image with some parameter. This code is fine working for me. May be it will help out

NSData *imageToUpload = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(uploadedImgView.image, 1.0);//(uploadedImgView.image);
if (imageToUpload)
{
    NSDictionary *parameters = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:keyParameter, @"keyName", nil];

    AFHTTPClient *client= [AFHTTPClient clientWithBaseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://------"]];

    NSMutableURLRequest *request = [client multipartFormRequestWithMethod:@"POST" path:@"API name as you have" parameters:parameters constructingBodyWithBlock: ^(id <AFMultipartFormData>formData) {
        [formData appendPartWithFileData: imageToUpload name:@"image" fileName:@"temp.jpeg" mimeType:@"image/jpeg"];
    }];

    AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation = [[AFHTTPRequestOperation alloc] initWithRequest:request];

    [operation setCompletionBlockWithSuccess:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject)
     {
         NSDictionary *jsons = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:responseObject options:kNilOptions error:nil];
         //NSLog(@"response: %@",jsons);

     }
                                     failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error)
     {
         if([operation.response statusCode] == 403)
         {
             //NSLog(@"Upload Failed");
             return;
         }
         //NSLog(@"error: %@", [operation error]);

     }];

    [operation start];
}

Good Luck !!

With AFNetworking 2.0.1 this code worked for me.

-(void) saveImage: (NSData *)imageData forImageName: (NSString *) imageName {
    AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager = [AFHTTPRequestOperationManager manager];

    NSString *imagePostUrl = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@/v1/image", BASE_URL];
    NSDictionary *parameters = @{@"imageName": imageName};

    NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[AFHTTPRequestSerializer serializer] multipartFormRequestWithMethod:@"POST" URLString:imagePostUrl parameters:parameters constructingBodyWithBlock:^(id<AFMultipartFormData> formData) {
        [formData appendPartWithFileData:imageData name:@"image" fileName:imageName mimeType:@"image/jpeg"];
    }];

    AFHTTPRequestOperation *op = [manager HTTPRequestOperationWithRequest:request success: ^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
        DLog(@"response: %@", responseObject);
    } failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
        DLog(@"Error: %@", error);
    }];
    op.responseSerializer = [AFHTTPResponseSerializer serializer];
    [[NSOperationQueue mainQueue] addOperation:op];
}

If JSON response is needed use:

op.responseSerializer = [AFJSONResponseSerializer serializer];

instead of

op.responseSerializer = [AFHTTPResponseSerializer serializer];
