I want to call this cURL command in my iPhone app.
curl --user "username:PASSWD" https://api.github.com/users/username
How can I execute it in objective C? I tried many methods but didn't succeed. Please help me to solve my problem.

To invoke a comand using the shell, use the system() function:
system("curl --foo --bar");
However, do not do this. It's a hack. Use libcurl or the NSURL API for networking. You may as well use libgit2 for checking out git repositories.

It's not obsolete, so much as totally awful. You really don't want to be calling out to the shell for a networking call. Listen to H2CO3's wise words!

NSTask will not work under sandbox environment (you will get "deny process-fork"). So put your application into /Applications
You can use NSTask for executing any system commands.
NSTask *task=[NSTask new];
[task setLaunchPath:@"curl --user "username:PASSWD" https://api.github.com/users/username"];
[task launch];
