Hi all,

How are you supposed to call decodeObjectForClass to get a String, in Swift 2 ? Currently with Xcode 7 beta 1, I can get the call to compile. I try

attr1 = aDecoder.decodeObjectOfClass(String.self, forKey: "attr1")

which fails with

Cannot invoke 'decodeObjectOfClass' with an argument list of type '(String.Type, forKey: String)'

fair enough, String is a struct, so let's try NSString :

attr = aDecoder.decodeObjectOfClass(NSString.self, forKey: "attr")

but that fails with

Missing argument for parameter 'error' in call

which is really weird. Do I log a radar ?

Thanks

Are you using a decoder/objects with NSSecureCoding?

If not, you should be able to just use the regular form:

func decodeObjectForKey(key: String) -> AnyObject?

Yes, they are using NSSecureCoding (it is required for XPC).
