What causes "Method 'foo' is defined in class 'Bar' and is not visible" in AppCode

Given the following method:

- (void)sendEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
    NSSet *allTouches = [event allTouches];

    if ([allTouches count] > 0)
    {
        _lastUserTouchTime = [[NSDate date] timeIntervalSince1970];
    }

    [super sendEvent:event];
}

The [event allTouches] generates the following inspection warning in AppCode 2016.3.

"Method 'allTouches' is defined in class 'UIEvent' and is not visible"

allTouches is defined in <UIKit/UIEvent.h> which I've tried including to no effect. Xcode doesn't seem to have any issue with this bit of code. Anyone have insight on this?

Thats because allTouches is defined as property

Look at this code:

NS_CLASS_AVAILABLE_IOS(2_0) @interface UIEvent : NSObject
...
#if UIKIT_DEFINE_AS_PROPERTIES
@property(nonatomic, readonly, nullable) NSSet <UITouch *> *allTouches;
#else
- (nullable NSSet <UITouch *> *)allTouches;
#endif
...
@end

Later versions of iOS SDK uses properties rather than methods. And, AppCode has more strict type-checks than Xcode. That's why Xcode silently compiles and AppCode gives warnings
