A developer using the framework I work on just reported
<https://forums.couchbase.com/t/exception-caught-in-map-block-of-view-invalid-type-in-json-write--swiftvalue/10808>
an exception which is triggered by NSJSONSerialization (see backtrace below.)
Basically an NSDictionary gets parsed from JSON data (in Obj-C), passed to a
Swift function, which then calls another function (written in Obj-C) that
serializes it back to JSON data. That last step is crashing due to some problem
with bridging.
The events leading up to this are:
1. The framework (written in Obj-C) parses some JSON data using
NSJSONSerialization, resulting in an NSDictionary.
2. The NSDictionary is passed as a parameter to a block; the parameter is typed
as `NSDictionary*`.
3. The block is part of the application, which is written in Swift.
4. The block in turn passes that NSDictionary to a function in the framework
(through a parameter is typed as `id`)
5. The framework uses NSJSONSerialization to convert that id to data.
Step 5 is triggering an assertion failure in Foundation. Apparently it failed
to un-bridge a Swift value in an array back into an NSObject. (From the
contents of the dictionary I know that the single-object array in question
contains a string.)
Any idea what’s going on here? I’ve never seen this happen before, and this
part of our framework has been around for 2 ½ years. People have successfully
built Swift apps using the framework. (This app was built with Xcode 8.0; don’t
know what the OS is, though.)
