AFNetworking send array in JSON parameters of GET request - objective-c

Question

I am sending array as a parameter in AFNetworking GET Request.
My code is as follows:
- (void)getProductSearchResult:(NSString *)locale andSearchDict:(NSDictionary *)dictSearch{
NSString *strURL = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#/%#/search?%#",BASEURL,locale,APIFORMAT];
AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager = [AFHTTPRequestOperationManager manager];
manager.requestSerializer = [AFJSONRequestSerializer serializer];
[manager GET:strURL parameters:dictSearch success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
NSDictionary *jsonDict = (NSDictionary *)responseObject;
if ([jsonDict isKindOfClass:[NSDictionary class]] || [jsonDict isKindOfClass:[NSMutableDictionary class]]) {
if (self.delegate && [self.delegate respondsToSelector:#selector(API_ProductSearch_didSuccess:)]) {
[self.delegate API_ProductSearch_didSuccess:jsonDict];
}
}
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
if (self.delegate && [self.delegate respondsToSelector:#selector(api_ProductSearch_didFailWithError:)]) {
[self.delegate api_ProductSearch_didFailWithError:[NSError description]];
}
}];
}
The dictionary which I pass as parameter is as follows:
{
"brand_filter" = (
1
);
"category_filter" = (
438
);
"max_price" = "47.37188";
"min_price" = "1.95";
"price_currency" = USD;
"supplier_filter" = (
"Aakron Line"
);
}
URL which created is shown like
http://demo.aakronline.ca/app_dev.php/api/v1/en_us/search?_format=json&brand_filter[]=1&category_filter[]=438&max_price=48.04479&min_price=2.622917&price_currency=USD&supplier_filter[]=Aakron%20Line
The problem area in URL is array is not passed in proper format i.e.
brand_filter[]=1&category_filter[]=438 instead of brand_filter=[1]&category_filter=[438]
Can anyone tell me how to solve this mistake?
But I am not getting the successful response.

In afnetworking 3.0, instead of AFHTTPRequestOperationManager use AFHTTPSessionManager
NSString *strUrl = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#/%#/search?%#",BASEURL,locale,APIFORMAT];
AFHTTPSessionManager *manager = [[AFHTTPSessionManager alloc] init];
manager.responseSerializer = [AFJSONResponseSerializer serializer];
[manager GET:strUrl parameters:nil progress:nil success:^(NSURLSessionDataTask * _Nonnull task, id _Nullable responseObject) {
NSLog(#"value: %#",responseObject);
//other code as it is
} failure:^(NSURLSessionDataTask * _Nullable task, NSError * _Nonnull error) {
NSLog(#"Error: %#",error);
}];
