Quick and dirty..

NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://httpbin.org/post"]];
    request.HTTPMethod = @"POST";
    request.HTTPBody = [@"param=value" dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
    request.allHTTPHeaderFields = @{@"Content-Type": @"application/x-www-form-urlencoded"};

    [[[NSURLSession sharedSession] dataTaskWithRequest:request completionHandler:^(NSData * _Nullable data, NSURLResponse * _Nullable response, NSError * _Nullable error) {

    }] resume];

Result:
