Well, just to be simple, follow this steps

Copy your .cer file to your project bundle
Assuming you are using

AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation = [[AFHTTPRequestOperation alloc] init...

Invoke the following after that line:

[operation setSSLPinningMode:AFSSLPinningModeCertificate]

This will instruct AF to do Certificate Pinning, no need to set anything else.

I don't understand how AFNetworking knows which certificate to check against – Pierre de LESPINAY Jul 07 '14 at 15:17
Your app adds the certs it founds to the chain of thrust, it is made automatically... – Frederic Yesid Peña Sánchez Jul 07 '14 at 15:30

Using AFNetworking 2.3.1 I don't see the method `setSSLPinningMode` – Pierre de LESPINAY Jul 07 '14 at 15:36

Just copy cer file in your project bundle. In AFURLConnectionOperation.m file, line 215:

NSArray *paths = [bundle pathsForResourcesOfType:@"cer" inDirectory:@"."];

It will assign cer file automatically.

And make sure that Prefix.pch has follows:

#define _AFNETWORKING_PIN_SSL_CERTIFICATES_

and

#define _AFNETWORKING_ALLOW_INVALID_SSL_CERTIFICATES_

if untrusted cert.
