I have the code (stripped down):
CFDictionaryRef *currentListingRef;
//declare currentListingRef here
NSDictionary *currentListing;
currentListing = (NSDictionary *) currentListingRef;
And then I get the error:
Cast of a non-Objective-C pointer type 'CFDictionaryRef *' (aka 'const
struct __CFDictionary **') to 'NSDictionary *' is disallowed with ARC
What am I doing wrong? How do I convert from a CFDictionaryRef
to an NSDictionary
?
ARC changed the way bridging works.
NSDictionary *original = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:@"World" forKey:@"Hello"];
CFDictionaryRef dict = (__bridge CFDictionaryRef)original;
NSDictionary *andBack = (__bridge NSDictionary*)dict;
NSLog(@"%@", andBack);
In ARC, this should be done this way:
CFDictionaryRef currentListingRef = ...;
NSDictionary *currentListing = CFBridgingRelease(currentListingRef);
This releases the CF object and transfers ownership of the object to ARC
otherwise you should release CF object manually.
Try this code,
NSDictionary *ssidList = (__bridge NSDictionary*)myDict;
NSString *SSID = [ssidList valueForKey:@"SSID"];
