[Solved] Could not cast value of type ‘Swift.Array’ (0x61000028bb50) to ‘Swift.String’ (0x10cbd0ae0) [closed]

Question

It seems you may be inadvertently passing the array self.gname instead of a simple String. From the context I have, I can’t tell if you’re trying to pass in an array or a string. Your code is making much too much use of the “no type” types, such as Any and AnyObject. You are explicitly disabling the safety and the helpfulness of the Swift type system.

I’d recommend changing your function declaration to indicate exactly what you need. Such as:

public func insertShot(_ rating: String, _ gname: String)

then within the body, you can change your dictionary declaration to

let param = [
    "user" : reviewer,
    "revieweduser" : gname,
    "rating" : rating
]

Then drop the cast:

request.httpBody = createBodyWithParams(param, boundary: boundary)

You are passing in self.gname which is an Array of Strings. You need to pass in a String.

Change you could to this:
if let gnameString = self.gname.first {
self.insertShot(“Yes”, gnameString)
}

Note: Your code is creating an array, you presumably need to figure out which value in the array you want to pass in.
