Can this tutorial be updated to Swift and iOS 9.3?

Unfortunately, this tutorial will not likely be updated.

If you’re already using Swift, I highly recommend you switch over to [Alamofire](https://github.com/Alamofire/Alamofire) instead. This is an excellent library by the same author of AFNetworking, [Mattt Thompson](https://twitter.com/mattt).

Along with using [AlamofireImage](https://github.com/Alamofire/AlamofireImage), it’s functionality is on par, perhaps even better than, AFNetworking.

iv been away from coding for som time, and i made ale my apps with web api after then tutorial How To Create an App Like Instagram With a Web Service Backend – Part 1/2 2/2 and my question if can the function below still be used in AFNetworking 2.0 / 3.0 ?

```
-(void)commandWithParams:(NSMutableDictionary*)params onCompletion:(JSONResponseBlock)completionBlock {
NSData* uploadFile = nil;
if ([params objectForKey:@"file"]) {
	uploadFile = (NSData*)[params objectForKey:@"file"];
	[params removeObjectForKey:@"file"];
}

NSMutableURLRequest *apiRequest = [self multipartFormRequestWithMethod:@"POST" path:kAPIPath parameters:params constructingBodyWithBlock: ^(id <AFMultipartFormData>formData) {
	if (uploadFile) {
		[formData appendPartWithFileData:uploadFile name:@"file" fileName:@"photo.jpg" mimeType:@"image/jpeg"];
	}
}];
AFJSONRequestOperation* operation = [[AFJSONRequestOperation alloc] initWithRequest: apiRequest];
[operation setCompletionBlockWithSuccess:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
    //success!
    completionBlock(responseObject);
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
    //failure :(
    completionBlock([NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:[error localizedDescription] forKey:@"error"]);
    
}];
[operation start];
}

```

Hi skov, I’ve had to adapt the code to use with AFNetworking 3.0 in the method jsonTapped:

- (IBAction)jsonTapped:(id)sender  
{  
// 1  
NSString \*string = [NSString stringWithFormat:@“%@weather.php?format=json”, BaseURLString];  
NSURL \*url = [NSURL URLWithString:string];

I’ll continue doing this great tutorial.

This tutorial is more than six months old so questions are no longer supported at the moment for it. We will update it as soon as possible. Thank you! :]
