Swift and scriptingbridge object initialization

Question

I\'m trying to write an application for swift control iTunes. But when initializing the application returns an object of type AnyObject, but must iTunesApplication.

Answer 1

An inelegant way to do work around the issue is to have iTunes declared as an SBApplication, then, when you call a function from iTunesApplication, downcast iTunes to an AnyObject:

(iTunes as AnyObject).play()

Note that there is no type-safety if you do this: you could call any function declared in any Objective-C header: it's just not guaranteed to be implemented in a specific class, and thus will crash the program.
