I have this class in a project which previously use swift 2.3. When i migrated the project to swift 3, xcode took forever to compile and i saw it stuck at this class. I can not

Answer 1

Sometimes the compiler slows down when you do implicit typing. If you Explicitly add the type information then the compiler will not need to calculate it. I can see that the properties of your class mostly have type information but not all of them. In your toAnyObject method, it seems like you want your object represented as a dictionary, yet you are converting it to type Any.

You are making a dictionary literal and offering no type information. Explicitly casting with "as" can help a lot.

When you convert something to type Any, Objective-C interprets that as id. Normally a swift dictionary would be bridged to an NSDictionary for Objective-c, but you are forcing it to be of type Any. What reason would the compiler have to bridge this to an NSDictionary? It probably boxes it since it thinks it is a struct and objective-c can't use swift structs.

Try to not confuse the compiler.
