Swift dictionary on iOS 7

I need to initialize a Dictionary on Swift for an app that works on iOS 7+. On iOS 8 everything works fine, but on iOS 7 the dictionary is always empty.

I tried

 var parameters = Dictionary<String, String>()
 parameters["grant_type"] = "password"

and also

 let parameters = ["grant_type" : "password"]

On both cases the result is

Printing description of parameters: ([String : String!]) parameters = {}

It's a Swift bug or I did something wrong here? FYI: I'm using Xcode 6.1 (Swift 1.1)

Actually, swift dictionaries seem to work, but debugging will show empty values. The answer is, to debug, cast from Swift dictionary to NSDictionary

print(swiftDictionary as NSDictionary)

Original

Swift Dictionaries do not work in iOS 7 for whatever reason. he workaround is to use NSDictionary.
