post parameter to sever using dictionary swift - ios

Question

I am trying to send data to the server using a dictionary but unfortunately the data is not saving to the database (fields were found to be blank) and I am getting the below response:
Optional(["status": true, "msg": successfull])
And also tried to show UIActivityIndicator to user until he got a response but couldn't find a way.
Code attempted:
let dict = [ "key_one": self.tf1.text!,"key_two":self.tf2.text!]
do {
let jsonData = try NSJSONSerialization.dataWithJSONObject(dict, options: .PrettyPrinted)
// create post request
let url = NSURL(string: "myAPIUrl.php?")!
let request = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: url)
request.HTTPMethod = "POST"
// insert json data to the request
request.setValue("application/json; charset=utf-8", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
request.HTTPBody = jsonData
let task = NSURLSession.sharedSession().dataTaskWithRequest(request){ data, response, error in
if error != nil{
print("Error -> \(error)")
return
}
do {
let result = try NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data!, options: []) as? [String:AnyObject]
print("Response -> \(result)")
} catch {
print("Inside Error Section -> \(error)")
}
}
task.resume()
} catch {
print(error)
}

// write this in one fucantion
let Username:NSString = EmailTextField.text! as NSString
let password:NSString = PasswordTextField.text! as NSString
let headers = [
"content-type": "application/json",
"cache-control": "no-cache",
"postman-token": "121b2f04-d2a4-72b7-a93f-98e3383f9fa0"
]
let parameters = [
"username": "\(Username)",
"password": "\(password)"
]
if let postData = (try? JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: parameters, options: [])) {
var request = NSMutableURLRequest(url: URL(string: "YOUR_URL_HERE")!,
cachePolicy: .useProtocolCachePolicy,
timeoutInterval: 10.0)
request.httpMethod = "POST"
request.allHTTPHeaderFields = headers
request.httpBody = postData
let session = URLSession.shared
let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request as URLRequest) {
(data, response, error) -> Void in
if (error != nil) {
print(error)
} else {
DispatchQueue.main.async(execute: {
if let json = (try? JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data!, options: [])) as? NSDictionary
{
let success = json["status"] as? Int
let message = json["message"] as? String
// here you check your success code.
if (success == 1)
{
print(message)
let vc = UIActivityViewController(activityItems: [image], applicationActivities: [])
present(vc, animated: true)
}
else
{
// print(message)
}
}
})
}
}
task.resume()
}
