Fixing an override func viewDidAppear

Question

I was following this guide:

https://codewithchris.com/iphone-app-connect-to-mysql-database/#app

and I'm having this problem with the override function:

Argument names for method 'viewDidAppear(animated:)' do not match those of overridden method 'viewDidAppear'.

Here's the code:

import Foundation
import UIKit
import MapKit

class DetailViewController : UIViewController {
    @IBOutlet weak var mapView: MKMapView!

    var selectedLocation : LocationModel?

    override func viewDidAppear(animated: Bool) {
        // Create coordinates from location lat/long
        var poiCoodinates: CLLocationCoordinate2D = CLLocationCoordinate2D()

        poiCoodinates.latitude = CDouble(self.selectedLocation!.latitude!)!
        poiCoodinates.longitude = CDouble(self.selectedLocation!.longitude!)!
        // Zoom to region
        let viewRegion: MKCoordinateRegion = MKCoordinateRegionMakeWithDistance(poiCoodinates, 750, 750)
        self.mapView.setRegion(viewRegion, animated: true)
        // Plot pin
        let pin: MKPointAnnotation = MKPointAnnotation()
        pin.coordinate = poiCoodinates
        self.mapView.addAnnotation(pin)

        //add title to the pin
        pin.title = selectedLocation!.name
    }
}

EDIT: I've already tried adding an underscore to the function:

override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) 

and it ends up with this error:

Thread 1: EXC_BAD_INSTRUCTION(code=l386_INVOP, subcode=0x0)

the debug console shows this:

fatal error: unexpectedly found nil while unwrapping an Optional value

Answer 1

You need to declare it like this instead:

override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) { ... }

It´s because of the unnamed function parameter:

In Swift > 2.2, all function parameters are named. In Objective-C, the first function parameter isn’t named. To mediate this, you can replace a function’s parameter name with an underscore. When you call this function, you don’t have to use the parameter name (hence “unnamed parameter”).

And try not to use ! as you have done, let´s say your model looks like this:

struct LocationModel {
    let name: String
    let latitude: Double?
    let longitude: Double?

    init(longitude: Double? = nil, latitude: Double? = nil, name: String) {
        self.latitude = latitude
        self.longitude = longitude
        self.name = name
    }
}

Use if-let instead to get the values instead of force-unwrap it:

override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
    // Create coordinates from location lat/long
    var poiCoodinates: CLLocationCoordinate2D = CLLocationCoordinate2D()

    if let latitude = self.selectedLocation!.latitude, let longitude = self.selectedLocation!.longitude {
        poiCoodinates.latitude = CDouble(latitude)
        poiCoodinates.longitude = CDouble(longitude)
    } else {
        // do what you want if above fails
    }

    // Zoom to region
    let viewRegion: MKCoordinateRegion = MKCoordinateRegionMakeWithDistance(poiCoodinates, 750, 750)
    self.mapView.setRegion(viewRegion, animated: true)
    // Plot pin
    let pin: MKPointAnnotation = MKPointAnnotation()
    pin.coordinate = poiCoodinates
    self.mapView.addAnnotation(pin)

    //add title to the pin
    pin.title = selectedLocation!.name
}

Answer 2

Please Change your code :

override func viewDidAppear(animated: Bool) {

}

to this :

override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {

}

It will fix the issue:

Argument names for method 'viewDidAppear(animated:)' do not match those of overridden method 'viewDidAppear'.
