Use of subscripts causes Xcode builds to fail about socket.io-client-swift HOT 6 CLOSED

I'm confused, the library itself is causing this generic problem with NSArray?

Your test code is rather silly, that loop would never execute. Can you provide an example of how you're using it with the library.

Also look into upgrading to Xcode 6.3/Swift 1.2. Because I'm not going to be applying fixes to pre-2.0

from socket.io-client-swift.

Your questions are reasonable. I admit this issue does appear ridiculous upon first glance. Please allow me to elaborate:

1. Yes, the library itself is causing the problem. Removing the import statement causes the build to succeed.
2. Yes, the test code is silly, and the loop would never execute. Here is the point: The only interaction this code has with the library is that this code is in the same project as the "import Socket_IO_Client_Swift" statement. This code could be in a different file, and the compile error still occurs.

However, to satisfy your question: Imagine I have a json object represented somewhere in my Swift code. That json could be something like this:

{
    "things": [{
        "foo": 1
    },{
        "foo": 2
    }]
}

In Swift I could then do something like:

if let json = NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(...) as? NSDictionary {
  if let array = json["things"] as? NSArray {
    for thing in array {
      let foo = thing["foo"]
      // Do something with foo
    }
  }
}

I also agree that Swift 1.2 is the future. Perhaps we've discovered an issue with the Apple compiler.

That's really strange, I don't think I'm doing anything that should interfere with NSArray or NSDictionary

from socket.io-client-swift.

I'm downloading Xcode 6.3 now to test it with that. I'll continue investigating.

from socket.io-client-swift.

This works fine with Xcode 6.3 and version 2.0.2 of this library.

from socket.io-client-swift.

That's strange, well if it works I'll close the issue

from socket.io-client-swift.
