# recoveryAttempter

The object in the user info dictionary corresponding to the [`NSRecoveryAttempterErrorKey`](/documentation/Foundation/NSRecoveryAttempterErrorKey) key.

```
var recoveryAttempter: Any? { get }
```

## Discussion

The recovery attempter must be an instance of a class that conforms to the [`NSSecureCoding`](/documentation/Foundation/NSSecureCoding) and NSErrorRecoveryAttempting protocols. It must also be able to correctly interpret an index in the [`localizedRecoveryOptions`](/documentation/Foundation/NSError/localizedRecoveryOptions) property.

If [`userInfo`](/documentation/Foundation/NSError/userInfo) doesn’t contain a value for [`NSRecoveryAttempterErrorKey`](/documentation/Foundation/NSRecoveryAttempterErrorKey), this property is `nil`.

[`localizedRecoveryOptions`](/documentation/Foundation/NSError/localizedRecoveryOptions)
