Answer 1

In AFNetworking 2 library there is method in AFHTTPRequestSerializer set the request time out interval directly.

NSString *urlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@/account.do?JSON&sysparm_action=getRecords",baseUrlString];

    NSString *login = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] objectForKey:@"login"];
    NSString *password = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] objectForKey:@"password"];

    [manager setRequestSerializer:[AFHTTPRequestSerializer serializer]];
    [manager.requestSerializer setAuthorizationHeaderFieldWithUsername:login password:password];
    [manager.requestSerializer setTimeoutInterval:TIME_OUT_INTERVAL];


    [manager GET:urlString parameters:nil success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
        NSLog(@"JSON: %@", responseObject);
        [self parseJsonWithAccountsData:responseObject];
    } failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
        NSLog(@"Error: %@", operation.responseString);
        [self performSelectorOnMainThread:@selector(failedWithContactsDownload) withObject:nil waitUntilDone:YES];
    }];

You don't need to override the class to set the request time out interval.
