App Delegate giving warning: 'id <UIApplicationDelegate>' does not conform to the 'UIAlertViewDelegate' protocol

Question

Hello everyone,

I'm currently using a UIAlertView at startup in my app with the UIAlertViewDelegate. It all works fine. The only problem is, I get the warning "type 'id ' does not conform to the 'UIAlertViewDelegate' protocol" every time I reference the App Delegate, giving me about 32 warnings.

Can anyone shed some light on why I'm getting this warning and how I can satisfy it?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

I assuming your app delegate is your alert view delegate?

If so, you need to tell the compiler that in the declaration of the app delegate. Like so:

@interface SomeAppDelegate : NSObject <UIApplicationDelegate, UIAlertViewDelegate> {

}

// ... rest of interface

@end

And then you also need to implement the required methods.

EDIT: Thinking about it further, I think probably you're missing a cast when you reference the app delegate. So you have something like this:

MyAppDelegate* appDelegate = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];

// what you want is:

MyAppDelegate* appDelegate = (MyAppDelegate*)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
