Two reasons: 1) No one wants to call super.init() when deriving from NSObject. 2) More generally, if there is exactly one DI in your superclass, and if it takes zero arguments, it is usually not interesting to have to call it, it is just boilerplate. If you think that this is the wrong policy, please bring it up on swift-evolution. Note that this has been the behavior since Swift 1, and I haven’t heard any other serious complaints about it. -Chris _______________________________________________ swift-users mailing list swift-users@swift.org https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-users
