If your data is decoded from JSON string, it will be decoded as NSNumber or NSString.

You can use this function:

func intValueForKey(key: String, inDictionary dictionary: [String: AnyObject]) throws -> Int {
    if let value = dictionary[key]?.integerValue {
        return value
    } else {
        throw NSError(domain: "Invalid key", code: -1, userInfo: nil)
    }
}

I don't know your code but this will be helpful for you.

You can get your AnyObject value in this way...

let data :AnyObject = "100"
let score = Int(data as! String)! //Force Unwrap optional value it will be dengerious for nil condition.
print(score)

Or try this way also

let hitCount = "100"
let data :AnyObject = hitCount as AnyObject //sometime Xcode will ask value type
let score = Int(data as? String ?? "") ?? 0
print(score)

Output -

Swift 3.1 & Swift 4

let hitCount = "100"
let data :Any = hitCount //Any type Value passing here 
let score = Int(data as? String ?? "") ?? 0
print(score)

---

Output -
