SOAP web service returning html code on iOS 10:

I am trying to use the SOAp web service in my code and its not working as expected. The same code works fine prior to iOS 10.



Anybody on the planet has faced the same issue or has solution for this?? Please reply ASAP.



My code looks like this:


NSString *version = [[NSBundle mainBundle] objectForInfoDictionaryKey:@"CFBundleShortVersionString"];
            NSString *msg=[NSString stringWithFormat:@"<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>\n"
                           "<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance\" xmlns:xsd=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema\" xmlns:soap=\"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/\">\n"
                           "<soap:Body>\n"
                           "<GetConfiguration xmlns=\"http://example.com/webservices/\">\n"
                           "<app_version>%@</app_version>\n"
                           "</GetConfiguration>\n"
                           "</soap:Body>\n"
                           "</soap:Envelope>\n",version];

            NSURL * getUrl=[NSURL URLWithString:GET_CONFIGURATION_URL];
            [Logger Log:GET_CONFIGURATION_URL];
            NSMutableURLRequest *theRequest=[NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:getUrl];
            NSString *msgLength=[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%lu",(unsigned long)[msg length]];
         
         
            [theRequest addValue:@"application/json;charset=utf-8" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Type"];
    
            [theRequest addValue:@"http://example.com/webservices/GetConfiguration" forHTTPHeaderField:@"SOAPAction"];
            [theRequest addValue:msgLength forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Length"];
            [theRequest setHTTPMethod:@"GET"];
            [theRequest setHTTPBody:[msg dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
         
            NSError *error = nil;
            NSURLResponse *theResponse =[[NSURLResponse alloc]init];

        
            NSURLSessionConfiguration *configuration = [NSURLSessionConfiguration defaultSessionConfiguration];
            AFURLSessionManager *manager = [[AFURLSessionManager alloc] initWithSessionConfiguration:configuration];
            manager.responseSerializer = [AFHTTPResponseSerializer serializer];//I also used AFJSONResponseSerializer but no success.

  
            NSURLSessionDataTask *dataTask = [manager dataTaskWithRequest:theRequest completionHandler:^(NSURLResponse *response, id responseObject, NSError *error) {
                if (error) {
                    NSLog(@"Error: %@", error);
                } else {
                    NSLog(@"%@ %@", response, responseObject);
                

                }
            }];
            [dataTask resume];


THE RESPONSE IS AS FOLLOWS:

What are you trying to do and what response are you expecting?


You appear to be sending a SOAP payload, but telling the server that the content type is JSON, then trying to parse the SOAP response with a HTTP or JSON parser, instead of an XML or SOAP parser.

What ***** said but also…

When you’re in a situation like this, where the server responds properly to one client and wrongly to another, a good option is to compare the requests sent by those two clients to see what’s different. Debugging HTTP Server-Side Errors describes how you can do that.
