Question

I define protocol with a method name is:

   - (id)initWithDelegate:(id <Foo>)delegate;

While in my project, there also has a third party protocol (in different class):

   - (id)initWithDelegate:(NSObject *)delegate;

In another class, which imports both protocols, I just use the second method:

id thirdPartyObject = [[ThirdPartyClass alloc] initWithDelegate:self];

but XCode display an error: self is not conform <Foo> protocol, while self don’t need to conform that protocol.

How to avoid this naming conflict?

Answer 1

Change the name of the method.

- (id)initWithFooDelegate(id<Foo>)delegate;
