Nope. String is final. <Object> means, well, any Object. Wildcards

try this:

It's a bit dry but explains the whys and hows of generics and
wildcards.
Actually it should be NSDictionary<String, ? extends Object> or
rather just NSDictionary<String, ?> probably in that case...
Otherwise you can ONLY pass in literally an NSDictionary<String,
Object> and not any subclasses of the values. In Wonder, you'll
see our variants of these methods are:
public static String directActionUrl(WOContext context, String
directActionName, NSDictionary<String, ? extends Object>
queryParameters, Boolean secure, boolean includeSessionID)
I suppose you could argue that you should be instantiating an
NSDictionary<String, Object> instead of a <String, String> but the
method technically takes a map from String to any object type, so I
think the ? better expresses the intent.
Yeah, I see this point, didn't think of it.
Sorry for misinformation.
