I tried to upload pdf file to server from my app main bundle . but i did not get any error while uploading , but i am getting error when i am getting response from server like

 Message = "The resume must be a file of type: docx, doc or pdf.";
    Success = 0;

The backend team is stating it's a coding mistake, but I don't know where I am making a mistake. Please help me out with this issue.

Answer 1

PDF:mimetype and filename for pdf file uploading

filename = ".pdf" mimetype = "application/pdf"

DOCX: mimetype and filename for docx uploading filename = ".docx" mimetype = "application/application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document"

this is worked for me ,

Answer 2

filename and mimetype for doc file to upload to server in native api

  func createBodyWithParameters(parameters: [String: Any]?, filePathKey: String?, fileData: NSData, boundary: String) -> NSData {

    let body = NSMutableData();

    if parameters != nil {
        for (key, value) in parameters! {
            body.appendString(string:"--\(boundary)\r\n")
            body.appendString(string: "Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"\(key)\"\r\n\r\n")
            body.appendString(string: "\(value)\r\n")
        }
    }

         filename = ".doc"
         mimetype = "application/msword"

    body.appendString(string: "--\(boundary)\r\n")
    body.appendString(string: "Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"\(filePathKey!)\"; filename=\"\(filename)\"\r\n")
    body.appendString(string: "Content-Type: \(mimetype)\r\n\r\n")
    body.append(fileData as Data)
    body.appendString(string: "\r\n")
    body.appendString(string: "--\(boundary)--\r\n")

    return body
