"Type'Program' does not conform to protocol 'Any Object'"

Question

I updated xcode and now I have error in my project and I dont have idea what to do with it.

struct Program {
    let name : String
    let url : String
}

self.arrayOfPrograms = [Program(name: "First", url: "http://1.com"), Program(name: "Second", url: "http://2.com"), Program(name: "Third", url: "http://2.com")]

and I'm getting error "Type'Program' does not conform to protocol 'Any Object'"

Answer 1

As reported in the documentation:

AnyObject can represent an instance of any class type.

A struct is not a class, so it cannot be cast to AnyObject

You should either:

• turn Program into a class
• define your array as Array<Any>
• if your array is supposed to hold instances of Program only, declare it as Array<Program>

Needless to say, the last is the best solution, whereas the first is the one I wouldn't recommend because it requires you to make design changes (there's a reason why you declared it as a value type and not a reference type).

Side note: arrays and dictionaries can be cast to AnyObject because they are automatically bridged respectively to NSArray and NSDictionary, which are classes.
