Firebase Retrieve Data - Cannot Distinguish Value

Question

Firstly, I checked these answers, which do not help me: Swift JSON error, could not pass the value of type '__NSArrayM' (0x507b58) to 'NSDictionary' (0x507d74)

Get data from Firebase

When retrieving data from Firebase (3.x), I get an error:

Could not cast value of type '__NSArrayM' (0x10ca9fc30) to 'NSDictionary' (0x10caa0108).

with this code and tree:

Wood:

Feature extraction:

func retrievePlanes() {

    print("Retrieve Planes")

    ref = FIRDatabase.database().reference(withPath: "results")

    ref.observe(.value, with: { snapshot in

        var newItems: [Planes] = []

        for item in snapshot.children {
            let planesItem = Planes(snapshot: item as! FIRDataSnapshot)
            newItems.append(planesItem)
        }

        self.planes = newItems
        self.tableView.reloadData()

    })

}

    init(snapshot: FIRDataSnapshot) {

        ref = snapshot.ref
        key = snapshot.key
        let snapshotValue = snapshot.value as! [String:AnyObject]
        name = snapshotValue["name"] as! String

        imagePlane = snapshotValue["planeImage"] as! String
        imageTakenFrom = snapshotValue["imageTakenFrom"] as! String
    }

in line: let snapshotValue = snapshot.value as! [String:AnyObject]

I believe this is due to the value of the snapshot, which cannot be found in [String:AnyObject]due to Intbelow. (It works when I only have Stringanother case).

I also know that Firebase "converts" the JSON tree to these objects [link] :

• NSString
• NSNumber
• NSArray
• NSDictionnary

, snapshot.value, .

Answer 2

: -

• :Int?, , :Int!

• firebase - Int, let key: String!, let key: Int!

• let snapshotValue = snapshot.value as! [AnyHashable:Any] ( 3)

init: -

let snapshotValue = snapshot.value as! [String:AnyObject]

let snapshotValue = (snapshot.value as! NSArray)[0] as! [String:AnyObject]

Answer 3

I think that you have an extra array in your key result value for firebase data.

• You should try deleting this array or

• You can get the dictionary from the first index of the array, for example:

  // .. your code
  let snapshotValue = (snapshot.value as! [AnyObject])[0] as! [String:AnyObject];
  // .. your code
