Unable to access Swift 4 class from Objective-C: “Property not found on object of type”

Question

Using the latest Xcode 9 beta, I\'m seemingly completely unable to access properties on Swift classes. Even odder, I can access the class itself to instantiate it or whateve

Answer 1

Swift 3.2/4.0 / XCode 9.1

You you set swift3.2 in project settings ( //:configuration = Debug SWIFT_VERSION = 3.2 )

you can use your code,(using the correct import file in objc, see below). If You set project to swift 4.0 ( //:configuration = Debug SWIFT_VERSION = 4.0 )

You must prepend @objc for every property.

So:

Swift 3.2:

// MyClass.swift

@objc class MyClass: NSObject{

    var s1: String?
    @objc var s2 : String?
}


//

//  ViewController.m

import "MixingObjCAndSwift-Swift.h"
#import "ViewController.h"

@interface ViewController ()

@end

@implementation ViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];        
    MyClass * mc = [MyClass new];
    NSString * s1 = mc.s1;
    NSString * s2 = mc.s2;
}

works.

Swift 4.0:

// MyClass.swift

@objc class MyClass: NSObject{

    var s1: String?
    @objc var s2 : String?
}


.....  
- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];        
    MyClass * mc = [MyClass new];
    NSString * s1 = mc.s1;
    NSString * s2 = mc.s2;
}

does NOT works: compiler fails:

/Users....ViewController.m:24:21: Property 's1' not found on object of type 'MyClass *'

as s1 is not prepended with @objc.

You must write:

@objc class MyClass: NSObject{

    @objc var s1: String?
    @objc var s2 : String?
}

(As a side-note: in C/C++/ObJC file, put always system/general *h files before your "local" class headers.)

Swift 4

just add @objcMembers before class @objcMembers class MyClassObject: NSObject { var s1: String! var s2: String!

} Swift evolutionenter link description here
