Cannot convert call result type 'Set<String>' to expected type 'String' error

Question

I am working on an old Swift 3 project and I'm getting this error after updating it to Swift 4.2. It seems to work fine in Swift 3. I had to declare let NSURLPboardType = NSPasteboard.PasteboardType(kUTTypeURL as String) because NSURLPboardType does not exist in Swift 4.2 but otherwise the code is the same.

enum SparkleDrag {
    static let type = "com.razeware.StickerDrag.AppAction"
    static let action = "make sparkles"
}

let NSURLPboardType = NSPasteboard.PasteboardType(kUTTypeURL as String)
  
var nonURLTYpes: Set<String> {return [String(kUTTypeTIFF), SparkleDrag.type]}
  
var acceptableTypes: Set<String> {return [nonURLTYpes.union(NSURLPboardType)]}

The "u" in union is underlined with the error but I don't quite understand the nature of the problem. Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

The problem is that NSURLPboardType is not a Set<String>, so the union cannot work.

If you're trying to get something like this:

["com.razeware.StickerDrag.AppAction", "public.url", "public.tiff"]

in aceptableTypes, you can simply forgo NSURLPboardType and do this:

enum SparkleDrag {
    static let type = "com.razeware.StickerDrag.AppAction"
    static let action = "make sparkles"
}

// let NSURLPboardType = NSPasteboard.PasteboardType(kUTTypeURL as String)
  
var nonURLTYpes: Set<String> {return [String(kUTTypeTIFF), SparkleDrag.type]}
  
var acceptableTypes: Set<String> {return nonURLTYpes.union([kUTTypeURL as String])}
