AFNetworking 2.0 AFHTTPSessionManager: how to get status code and response JSON in failure block?

You can access the “data” object directly from AFNetworking by using the “AFNetworkingOperationFailingURLResponseDataErrorKey” key so there is no need for subclassing the AFJSONResponseSerializer. You can the serialize the data into a readable dictionary.
Here is some sample code to get JSON Data :

 NSData *errorData = error.userInfo[AFNetworkingOperationFailingURLResponseDataErrorKey];
 NSDictionary *serializedData = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData: errorData options:kNilOptions error:nil];

Here is the code to Get Status code in the Failure block:

  NSHTTPURLResponse* r = (NSHTTPURLResponse*)task.response;
  NSLog( @"success: %d", r.statusCode );
