MFMailComposeViewController, Swift 4, Xcode 9

Question

I have a problem with MFMailComposeViewControllerDelegate function.

func mailComposeController(_ controller: MFMailComposeViewController, didFinishWith result: MFMailComposeResult, error: Error?) {
    controller.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}

The warning says

Instance method 'mailComposeController(:didFinishWith:error:)' nearly matches optional requirement 'mailComposeController(:didFinishWith:error:)' of protocol 'MFMailComposeViewControllerDelegate'

Make 'mailComposeController(_:didFinishWith:error:)' private to silence this warning

I need to return the user to the App and dismiss MFMailComposeViewController after clicking cancel and this function is not triggered.

Yes, I added the delegate composeVC.mailComposeDelegate = self

If someone had a similar problem, I would appreciate the help. Thanks

EDIT

This behavior is happening only when I set the language to Swift 4. I just went back few commits and it's working perfectly fine with Swift 3.2

Basically, this is the code:

class TechSupportVC: UIViewController, MFMailComposeViewControllerDelegate {
    let composeVC = MFMailComposeViewController()

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    composeVC.mailComposeDelegate = self
    composeVC.setToRecipients(["[email protected]"])
    composeVC.setSubject("My message")
}

func mailComposeController(_ controller: MFMailComposeViewController, didFinishWith result: MFMailComposeResult, error: Error?) {
    controller.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}

@IBAction func sendPressed(_ sender: Any) {
    guard MFMailComposeViewController.canSendMail() else {
        showMailServiceErrorAlert()
        return
    }

    composeVC.setMessageBody("Test credentials: \(firstAndLastNameTextField.text!)\nPhone: \(numberTextField.text!)\n\n\(messageTextView.text!)", isHTML: false)

    self.present(composeVC, animated: true, completion: nil)
}

}

Answer 1

It wasn't possible for me to apply Đorđe's solution, this other answer helped me.

func mailComposeController(_ controller: MFMailComposeViewController,
                           didFinishWith result: MFMailComposeResult,
                           error: Swift.Error?) {
    controller.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}

Adding Swift. prefix to Error? solves the problem.

Answer 2

I had the same issue where the mailComposeControler delegate wasn't getting called after canceling or sending the mail. xCode gave me the same warning about adding private. I did not have an issue an enumeration named Error as the others had.

The only way I could fix it was to specifically define the function as public.

public func mailComposeController(_ controller: MFMailComposeViewController,
                                  didFinishWith result: MFMailComposeResult, error: Error?) {
    // Check the result or perform other tasks.

    // Dismiss the mail compose view controller.
    self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}

After doing that it worked fine.

This was in Swift 4.0, xCode 10.1.
