[swift-corelibs-dev] Query on NSKeyedArchiver

[Max Desiatov]

Hi Tony,

This is very interesting caveat. Is there a plan to get this documented anywhere? I haven't seen any documentation for Swift Foundation published publicly anywhere akin to how it's done for other APIs at https://developer.apple.com/reference/.

With best regards, Max.

The limitation is that the NSCoding protocol cannot be applied to Swift struct types, only class types. On Darwin, the class also must be a subclass of NSObject. This last limitation may not exist on Linux, but you should be aware that if you encode a non-NSObject subclass on Linux then you would not be able to decode it on Darwin.
