How to pass array value using AFNetworking? - ios

Question

Now i am working in paypal recurring integration using APIS, i am facing request format problem in the following API.
How to send request format as same as fellow.
curl -v -k -X PATCH 'https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/payments/billing-plans/P-94458432VR012762KRWBZEUA' \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <Access-Token>" \
-d '[
{
"path": "/",
"value": {
"state": "ACTIVE"
},
"op": "replace"
}
]'
So far i have tried following code
NSDictionary *valueDic = #{#"state":#"ACTIVE"};
NSDictionary *parametersDic = #{#"path":#"/",#"value":valueDic,#"op":#"replace"};
NSMutableArray *parameterArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
[parameterArray addObject:parametersDic];
NSString *finalyToken = [[NSString alloc]initWithFormat:#"Bearer %#",strAccessToken];
AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager = [AFHTTPRequestOperationManager manager];
manager.requestSerializer = [AFJSONRequestSerializer serializer];
manager.responseSerializer = [AFJSONResponseSerializer serializer];
[manager.requestSerializer setValue:finalyToken forHTTPHeaderField:#"Authorization"];
[manager.requestSerializer setValue:#"application/json+patch" forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Type"];
[manager.responseSerializer.acceptableContentTypes setByAddingObject:#"application/json"];
NSString *urlPatch = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/payments/billing-plans/%#",creditCardId];
[manager PATCH:urlPatch parameters:parameterArray success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject){
NSLog(#"JSON: %#", responseObject);
[self recurringCreateBillingAgreement];
}failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"Error: %#", error);
i have created request format like above
(
{
op = replace;
path = "/";
value = {
state = ACTIVE;
};
}
)
But,I am getting following error

You need to send JSON string as one parameter.
You can create JSON string of your array as below.
NSData *data = [NSJSONSerialization dataWithJSONObject:parameterArray options:0 error:nil];
NSString* jsonString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
parameterArray will be your array
Now use jsonString as value of one of your parameters, so you can send it to server.
