Try this code:-
FOR GET REQUEST
NSURLSession *session = [NSURLSession sharedSession];
NSURLSessionDataTask *dataTask = [session dataTaskWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"https://itunes.apple.com/search?term=apple&media=software"] completionHandler:^(NSData *data, NSURLResponse *response, NSError *error) {
if (error) {
NSLog(#"Error: %#",error);
} else {
NSDictionary *json = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:data options:0 error:nil];
NSLog(#"%#", json);
}
}];
FOR POST REQUEST
NSError *error;
NSURLSessionConfiguration *configuration = [NSURLSessionConfiguration defaultSessionConfiguration];
NSURLSession *session = [NSURLSession sessionWithConfiguration:configuration delegate:self delegateQueue:nil];
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:#"YOUR_API"];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:url
cachePolicy:NSURLRequestUseProtocolCachePolicy
timeoutInterval:60.0];
[request addValue:#"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Type"];
[request addValue:#"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:#"Accept"];
[request setHTTPMethod:#"POST"];
NSDictionary *mapData = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithObjectsAndKeys: #"TEST IOS", #"name",
#"IOS TYPE", #"typemap",
nil];
NSData *postData = [NSJSONSerialization dataWithJSONObject:mapData options:0 error:&error];
[request setHTTPBody:postData];
NSURLSessionDataTask *postDataTask = [session dataTaskWithRequest:request completionHandler:^(NSData *data, NSURLResponse *response, NSError *error) {
if (error) {
NSLog(#"Error: %#",error);
} else {
NSDictionary *json = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:data options:0 error:nil];
NSLog(#"%#", json);
}
}];
[postDataTask resume];
In the mapData dictionary there will be your parameters if any.
And if not Eliminate this code
NSDictionary *mapData = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithObjectsAndKeys: #"TEST IOS", #"name",
#"IOS TYPE", #"typemap",
nil];
NSData *postData = [NSJSONSerialization dataWithJSONObject:mapData options:0 error:&error];
[request setHTTPBody:postData];
And then assigned the json to the text property of UITextView's object.

Your data won't magically appear in your UITextView. You will have to do a network request with NSURLSession and parse the data, then you can implement the UITextView its properties and add the data.
