I searched, but I didn\'t find a familiar answer, so...
I am about to program a class to handle parse methods like updating, adding, fetching and deleting.
In swift a lot of types are defined as struct
s, which are immutable by default.
I had the same error doing this :
protocol MyProtocol {
var anInt: Int {get set}
}
class A {
}
class B: A, MyProtocol {
var anInt: Int = 0
}
and in another class :
class X {
var myA: A
...
(self.myA as! MyProtocol).anInt = 1 //compile error here
//because MyProtocol can be a struct
//so it is inferred immutable
//since the protocol declaration is
protocol MyProtocol {...
//and not
protocol MyProtocol: class {...
...
}
so be sure to have
protocol MyProtocol: class {
when doing such casting
