Could not find an overload for “init” that accepts the supplied arguments in Swift

Question

I am trying to figure out how to translate this in Swift and I am also having this error: "Could not find an overload for “init” that accepts the supplied arguments". Any suggestion appreciated. Thanks.

var pageImages:[UIImage] = [UIImage]()
pageImages = [UIImage(named: "example.png"), UIImage(named: "example2.png")]

Answer 1

Confirming what matt says:

in xCode 6.0 this does work:

images = [UIImage(named: "steps_normal"), UIImage(named: "steps_big")]

but in xCode6.1 values should be unwrapped:

images = [UIImage(named: "steps_normal")!, UIImage(named: "steps_big")!]

Answer 2

Unwrap those optionals. A UIImage is not the same as a UIImage?, which is what the named: initializer returns. Thus:

var pageImages = [UIImage(named: "example.png")!, UIImage(named: "example2.png")!]

(Unless, of course, you actually want an array of optional UIImages.)
