Mapping response from POST without nested KVC - json

Question

I am trying to map attributes to a class in RESTKit without a nested KVC and without much luck i keep getting nil for my values even though the response contains values.
I have read over the object mapping manual and tried it with path patterns without path patterns etc. Does anyone have any insight?
Request and Response from server

The class being mapped
-(void)WtfGameNotifcationResponse
{
RKObjectMapping *notifyMapping = [RKObjectMapping mappingForClass:[WTFGameNotification class]];
[notifyMapping addAttributeMappingsFromDictionary:

}];
RKResponseDescriptor *responseDescriptor = [RKResponseDescriptor responseDescriptorWithMapping:notifyMapping
method:RKRequestMethodGET
pathPattern:#"notify/player"
keyPath:nil
statusCodes:RKStatusCodeIndexSetForClass(RKStatusCodeClassSuccessful)];
[[RKObjectManager sharedManager] addResponseDescriptor:responseDescriptor];
}
The class in question
#interface WTFGameNotification : NSObject
#property (nonatomic,copy) NSString* to;
#property (nonatomic,copy) NSString* from;
#property (nonatomic,copy) NSString* gameID;
#property (nonatomic,copy) NSString* message;
#property (nonatomic,strong) NSNumber* result;
#property (nonatomic,copy) NSString *notifyID;
+ (WTFGameNotification*)Create;
#end

Answer 1

It seems that if you are trying to map a response from a POST this is the method and syntax one should use.
+ ( void )SendNotification:(GameInfo*)gameInfo withMessage:(NSString*)message forView:(UIViewController*)view
{
WTFGameNotification *_wtfGameNotif = [WTFGameNotification Create];
[_wtfGameNotif setTo:[gameInfo opponentWTFID]];
[_wtfGameNotif setFrom:[PlayerWTFInfo Load]._wtfID];
[_wtfGameNotif setGameID:[gameInfo gameID]];
[_wtfGameNotif setMessage:message];
if ([_wtfGameNotif to] && [_wtfGameNotif gameID])
{
RKObjectRequestOperation *operation = [[RKObjectManager sharedManager] appropriateObjectRequestOperationWithObject:_wtfGameNotif
method:RKRequestMethodPOST
path:nil
parameters:nil];
RFResponse *r1 = [RFResponse new];
operation.targetObject = r1;
[operation setCompletionBlockWithSuccess:^(RKObjectRequestOperation *operation, RKMappingResult *mappingResult)
{
if (r1.result.integerValue != 0)
{
[Utilities FacebookPostWithResult:#{#"fbId": r1.notify}];
}
}
failure:^(RKObjectRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error)
{
DDLogError(#"POST REQUEST FAILED IN CONFIRMFOTOVC : %#",[error description]);
if (view)
{
[LoadingView PopToRootShutterCloseOnView:view willOpen:YES];
}
}];
[operation start];
}
else
{
DDLogInfo(#"NO PLAYER ID");
}
}

If you are POSTing the object to the server then the response descriptor you have will not match because you link it to a GET with method:RKRequestMethodGET. You need to change that to method:RKRequestMethodPOST.
When using a path pattern of #"notify/player" the base URL should be set to https://api.myURL.com/api/0_0_1/, but it doesn't look like this is an issue for you.
