I'm trying to connect to a 3rd party API that requires an auth token as a query parameter to a POST request with JSON body using Alamofire 4.

A similar question was asked here: Multiple encoding types for Alamofire Request

I'm trying to implement the accepted answer using Alamofire 4 (answer used Alamofire 3).

Here's what I'm doing:

let url = URL(string: urlString)!
var urlRequest = URLRequest(url: url)
urlRequest.httpMethod = "POST"

let bodyParameters: [String: AnyObject] = [
    "inviter": inviterId as AnyObject,
    "invitee": inviteeId as AnyObject
]

let requestWithBody = try Alamofire.JSONEncoding.default.encode(urlRequest, with: bodyParameters)

let queryParameters: [String: AnyObject] = [
    "api_token": tokenString as AnyObject
]

var compositeRequest = try Alamofire.URLEncoding.default.encode(urlRequest, with: queryParameters)
compositeRequest.httpBody = requestWithBody.httpBody
return compositeRequest

The code compiles and executes fine. However, when I execute the request, and print the response.request to the console, the request URL doesn't include the query parameter.

This version of the original seems to be working OK for me (AF4/Swift4):

fileprivate func multiEncodedURLRequest(
    method: HTTPMethod,
    requestURL: URL,
    parameters: Parameters,
    bodyParameters: Parameters) -> URLRequest
{
    let request = URLRequest(url: requestURL)

    do {
        var urlRequest = try URLEncoding.default.encode(request, with: parameters)
        var bodyRequest = try JSONEncoding.default.encode(request, with: bodyParameters)

        urlRequest.httpMethod = method.rawValue
        urlRequest.httpBody = bodyRequest.httpBody

        return urlRequest
    }
    catch {
        return request
    }
}
