Swift - how to declare variable/functon of/with enums of different type?

Question

I need to declare variable which will store array of enums of different type, eg.:

var enums = [EnumTypeA.Option1, EnumTypeB.Option2]

Compiler states:

Type of expression is ambiguous without more context

This will be necessary to pass any enum or other object as a function parameter. However I discovered that I can pass generics to achieve this, eg.:

func f1<T>(enum: T)

but having protocol with optional methods (prefixed with @objc) it is impossible.

You can use a protocol...

protocol MyEnums {}

enum MyEnum1: MyEnums {
    case first, second
}

enum MyEnum2: MyEnums {
    case red, green
}

let myArray: [MyEnums] = [MyEnum1.first, MyEnum2.green]

func myFunc(myEnum: MyEnums) {
    print(myEnum)
}

for value in myArray {
    myFunc(myEnum: value)
}
