I have the following two entities
#interface MEContactInfo : NSObject
#property (nonatomic,strong) NSString* phone ;
#property (nonatomic,strong) NSString* email;
#end
#interface MEContact : NSObject
#property (nonatomic,strong) NSString* _id ;
#property (nonatomic,strong) NSString* lastName;
#property (nonatomic,strong) NSString* firstName;
#property (nonatomic,strong) NSString* data ;
#property (nonatomic,strong) NSMutableArray* contactInfos ;
#end
The second entity contact contains the array of contact infos. Now I want to post this to my server but I am not able to do so. My mappings are as following:
RKObjectMapping* contactMapping = [RKObjectMapping mappingForClass:[MEContact class]];
[contactMapping addAttributeMappingsFromArray:#[#"_id",#"lastName",#"firstName",#"data"]];
RKObjectMapping* contactInfosMapping = [RKObjectMapping mappingForClass:[MEContactInfo class]];
[contactInfosMapping addAttributeMappingsFromArray:#[#"email",#"phone"]];
[contactMapping addPropertyMapping:[RKRelationshipMapping relationshipMappingFromKeyPath:#"contactInfos" toKeyPath:#"contactInfos" withMapping:contactInfosMapping]];
My request descriptor is as following:
requestDescriptor = [RKRequestDescriptor
requestDescriptorWithMapping:[contactMapping inverseMapping]
objectClass: [MEContact class]
rootKeyPath:nil method:RKRequestMethodAny];
Now when I post something like this:
{ firstName:”abc”,
lastName:”xyz”,
contactInfos: [{
email:”test#test.com”,
phone:”9999999999”
}]
}
I receive
{
firstName:”abc”,
lastName:”xyz”,
contactInfos: [ ”test#test.com”,”9999999999”]
}
If I have multiple entries in the contactInfos array, they all are appended to the contactInfos array I receive on the server side. Basically the contactInfo object is flattening in an array. Can you please let me know how I can fix this.

I got it to work. Everything above was correct. The problem was that data was not going as JSON to the server. The solution was that I had to set request serialization MimeType which can be done by doing this
[objectManger setRequestSerializationMIMEType:RKMIMETypeJSON];
Thanks
