I have a problem assigning the delegate for an object that is an instance of a class that defines a protocol in Swift as follows:
I simplified the code to the bare bones to exemplify the issue: This is the class with the protocol
protocol TheProtocol {
func notifyDelegate()
}
class ClassWithProtocol: NSObject {
var delegate: TheProtocol?
fire() {
delegate?.notifyDelegate()
}
}
This is the class the conforms to the Protocol
class ClassConformingToProtocol: NSObject, TheProtocol {
var object: ClassWithProtocol?
func notifyDelegate() {
println("OK")
}
init() {
object = ClassWithProtocol()
object?.delegate = self // Compiler error - Cannot assign to the result of this expression
object?.fire()
}
}
I have tried all sort of alternatives to assign the delegate without success. Any idea what I am missing?
