Name collisions for extension methods from different frameworks

Question

As a test, I created two frameworks. Both frameworks contain this extension:

public extension UIDevice {
    var extraInfo: UIDeviceExtraInfo {
        return U         


        

Answer 1

In this specific case, you can disambiguate extraInfo prop by explicilty specifying expected type:

import FW1
import FW2

let fw1Info = UIDevice.currentDevice().extraInfo as FW1.UIDeviceExtraInfo
let fw2Info = UIDevice.currentDevice().extraInfo as FW2.UIDeviceExtraInfo
print(fw1Info.prop) // -> Device1
print(fw2Info.prop) // -> Device2

But, when the method/prop return the same type:

// FW1
public extension UIDevice {
    var myInfo: String { return "Device1" }
}

// FW2
public extension UIDevice {
    var myInfo: String { return "Device2" }
}

// App
import FW1

print(UIDevice.currentDevice().myInfo) // -> ???

There is no way to disambiguate them. And regardless the application code imports which Framework, it seems, the actual called implementation depends on the order in Linked Frameworks and Libraries in "First come, first served" manner. But, as far as I know, this behavior is not guaranteed.
