swift - Value of type 'String' does not conform to expected dictionary value type 'AnyObject' -

i getting error when creating dictionary in swift:

value of type 'string' not conform expected dictionary value type 'anyobject'

code:

let joesmith : [string : anyobject] = ["name" : "joe smith", "height" : 42, "soccer expo" : true, "guardian" : "jim , jan smith"] 

swift 3

first of string in swift struct , not conform anyobject.

solution #1

the best solution in swift 3 changing type of dictionary value anyobject any (which includes string struct).

let joesmith : [string : any] = ["name" : "joe smith", "height" : 42, "soccer expo" : true, "guardian" : "jim , jan smith"] 

solution #2

however if want keep value fo dictionary defined anyobject can force bridge string struct nsstring class adding as anyobject shown below (i did same other values)

let joesmith : [string : anyobject] = [     "name" : "joe smith" anyobject,     "height" : 42 anyobject,     "soccer expo" : true anyobject,     "guardian" : "jim , jan smith" anyobject]

swift 2

the problem here defined value of dictionary anyobject , string in swift not object, it's struct.

the compiler complaining string because first error if remove it, give error 42 again int struct.

and have same problem true (bool -> struct).

you can solve problem in 2 ways:

foundation #1

if add import foundation swift struct automatically bridged nsstring (which object) , compiler happy

any #2

you replace anyobject any. can put kind of value in dictionary.

considerations

imho (swift developers) should progressively stop relying on objective-c bridging , use second solution.
