An iOS category adding retry functionality to requests made using AFNetworking 2

CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Objective-C, which automates and simplifies the process of using 3rd-party libraries like AFNetworking in your projects. See the "Getting Started" guide for more information. You can install it with the following command:

$ gem install cocoapods

To integrate AFNetworking-AutoRetry into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your Podfile:

pod 'AFNetworking+AutoRetry'

Then, run the following command:

pod install

Import the libraries at the top of your .m file

#import <AFNetworking/AFHTTPRequestOperationManager.h>
#import <AFNetworking+AutoRetry/AFHTTPRequestOperationManager+AutoRetry.h>

Then, in your function:

// setup POST data
NSDictionary *parameters = @{@"key":@"value"};
AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager = [AFHTTPRequestOperationManager manager];
// set the network timeout duration to 30 seconds
manager.requestSerializer = [[AFHTTPRequestSerializerWithTimeout alloc] initWithTimeout:30];
[manager POST:@"http://www.example.com/api" parameters:parameters success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
    // success, parse the response here
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
    // failure, e.g. network error
} autoRetry:3];

where 3 is the number of retries. Similar for GET cases.
