so how i can pass this type of request to the api

   AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager = [AFHTTPRequestOperationManager manager];
    NSDictionary *params = @{@"name": @"hello",
                             @"phone": @"1234567890"};
    NSLog(@"Dict %@",params);
    manager.responseSerializer.acceptableContentTypes = [manager.responseSerializer.acceptableContentTypes setByAddingObject:@"text/html"];

[manager POST:@"http://forapp.com/api/getContacts.php" parameters:params success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
    NSLog(@"JSON: %@", responseObject);

} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
    NSLog(@"Error: %@", error);

just add

Step-1

// create the dictionary of {"name":"abc","phone":"1234567890"},{"name":"Kate Bell","phone":"9925992599"} this

NSDictionary *params = @{@"name": @"hello",
                         @"phone": @"1234567890"};

Step-2

//create the one array of this output [ {"name":"abc","phone":"1234567890"},{"name":"Kate Bell","phone":"9925992599"} ]

NSMutableArray *arr = [NSMutableArray arrayWithObjects:params,nil];

Step-3

// convert your object to JSOn String
NSError *error = nil;
NSString *createJSON = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:[NSJSONSerialization dataWithJSONObject:objectsInCart
                                                                                options:NSJSONWritingPrettyPrinted
                                                                                  error:&error]
                                       encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

Step-4

//create the another one dictionary for send the data for like data=[ {"name":"abc","phone":"1234567890"},{"name":"Kate Bell","phone":"9925992599"} ]

 NSDictionary *pardsams = @{@"data": createJSON};

Step-5

  // finally start your request
  AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager = [AFHTTPRequestOperationManager manager];

    NSLog(@"Dict %@",pardsams);
    manager.responseSerializer.acceptableContentTypes = [manager.responseSerializer.acceptableContentTypes setByAddingObject:@"text/html"];

[manager POST:@"http://forapp.com/api/getContacts.php" parameters:pardsams success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
    NSLog(@"JSON: %@", responseObject);

} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
    NSLog(@"Error: %@", error);

}];

I dont know you can pass the array to your request, the reason we dont know your request , try once — Anbu.Karthik, Mar 07 '16 at 05:45

as per this url

forapp.com/api/getContacts.php?data=[ {"name":"abc","phone":"1234567890"},{"name":"Kate Bell","phone":"9925992599"} ]

You should implement like this

AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager = [AFHTTPRequestOperationManager manager];
    NSDictionary *params = @{@"name": @"hello",
                             @"phone": @"1234567890"};
    NSLog(@"Dict %@",params);
manager.responseSerializer = [AFJSONResponseSerializer serializer];

manager.requestSerializer = [AFJSONRequestSerializer serializer];

    manager.responseSerializer.acceptableContentTypes = [manager.responseSerializer.acceptableContentTypes setByAddingObject:@"text/html"];

[manager POST:@"http://forapp.com/api/getContacts.php" parameters:@{@"data": @[params]} success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
    NSLog(@"JSON: %@", responseObject);

} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
    NSLog(@"Error: %@", error);

}];

Add following:

// httpClient is a subclass of AFHTTPRequestOperationManager or AFHTTPSessionManager
httpClient.requestSerializer = AFJSONRequestSerializer;

And also check your post array does not include any other object. It just include array.
