Objc: avoid method method name conflicts?

Question

I define a protocol with a method name:

   - (id)initWithDelegate:(id <Foo>)delegate;

My project also has a third-party protocol (in different classes):

   - (id)initWithDelegate:(NSObject *)delegate;

In another class that imports both protocols, I just use the second method:

id thirdPartyObject = [[ThirdPartyClass alloc] initWithDelegate:self];

but Xcode displays an error: self does not match <Foo>, and itself does not have to conform to this protocol.

How to avoid name conflict?

Answer 1

Change the name of the method.

- (id)initWithFooDelegate(id<Foo>)delegate;

Answer 2

I am not 100% sure if I understand what you are doing, but I think the problem is that you are trying to use covariant methods in a C object (methods with the same selector name, but differently typed arguments).
