Ambiguous reference to member 'upload(_:to:method:headers:interceptor:)'

Question

I am uploading an image on button press using Alamofire, but it show an ERROR at

AF.upload(multipartFormData: { MultipartFormData line of method

(Note : Alamofire.upload is change to AF.upload After Alamofire 5.0 Update)

@IBAction func btnUploadImage(_ sender: UIButton) {

    let uploadDict = ["user_id":getUserId] as [String:String]

    AF.upload(multipartFormData: { MultipartFormData in

                let image :Data = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(self.uploadImg.image!, 1.0)!

                MultipartFormData.append(image, withName: "image" , fileName: "image.jpeg" , mimeType: "image/jpeg")
                for(key,value) in uploadDict{

                    MultipartFormData.append(value.data(using: String.Encoding.utf8)!, withName: key)}

            }, to: "http://XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/uploadImage", encodingCompletion: {

From Alamofire 5.0 Migration Guide:

• MulitpartFormData’s API has changed and the top level upload methods to create and upload MultipartFormData have been updated to match other request APIs, so it’s not longer necessary to deal with the Result of the multipart encoding.

So your code should be like this:

@IBAction func btnUploadImage(_ sender: UIButton) {
  let uploadDict = ["user_id": "getUserId"] as [String:String]

  AF.upload(multipartFormData: { MultipartFormData in

    let image: Data = self.uploadImg.image!.jpegData(compressionQuality: 1.0)!

     MultipartFormData.append(image, withName: "image" , fileName: "image.jpeg" , mimeType: "image/jpeg")
            for(key,value) in uploadDict {
                MultipartFormData.append(value.data(using: String.Encoding.utf8)!, withName: key)
            }
        }, to: "http://XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/uploadImage", method: .post, headers: ["Content-Type": "application/json", 
         "authorization": "bearer \(token)"])
   .responseJSON { (response) in
            debugPrint("SUCCESS RESPONSE: \(response)")
   }
}

So you will not need encodingCompletion closure and use responseJSON immediately.
