Question

I have a resource which is fetched from a JSON API.
The JSON is parsed into a NSDictionary which, in this case is called game.

I’m creating a new instance of my Game class based on the attributes from the JSON.

Game class has a property called userRegistered which is defined as follows:

// in Game.h
@interface
@property (nonatomic, assign) BOOL userRegistered;


// elsewhere in my code I have
Game *newGame = [[Game alloc] init];
newGame.userRegistered = ([game objectForKey:@"user_registered"] > 0);

The “user_registered” key in the dictionary will always be either 1 or 0.

Xcode warns me the I have –
warning: Semantic Issue: Incompatible integer to pointer conversion passing 'int' to parameter of type 'BOOL *' (aka 'signed char *')

Can someone please explain the issue and how I might resolve it?

Update

My full game class is defined as follows:

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

@interface Game : NSObject

@property (nonatomic, copy) NSString *name;
@property (nonatomic, copy) NSString *photoURL;
@property (nonatomic, copy) NSString *gameURL;
@property (nonatomic, assign) BOOL *userRegistered;

@end

// Game.m
#import "Game.h"

@implementation Game

@synthesize name = _name;
@synthesize partnerName = _partnerName;
@synthesize photoURL = _photoURL;
@synthesize gameURL = _gameURL;
@synthesize userRegistered = _userRegistered;

@end

I’m getting the error in one of my ViewControllers in this method

     // api_response.body has just been set to an __NSCFArray containing 
     // NSDictionaries by AFNetworking
     NSDictionary *game;
     Game *newGame;
     for (game in api_response.body){
         newGame = [[Game alloc] init];

         NSLog(@"Creating a new game");
         // set attributes for new game instance
         newGame.name = [game objectForKey:@"name"];
         newGame.photoURL = [game objectForKey:@"photoURL"];
         // user registered is either 0 (false) or 1 (true)
         newGame.userRegistered = [[game objectForKey:@"user_registered"] intValue];

         // add the game instance to the appropriate array
         [self addGameToGamesArray:newGame];
         newGame = nil;
     }

The warning shows over newGame.userRegistered = [[game objectForKey:@"user_registered"] intValue];

Answer 1

I was able to solve this issue by simply using boolValue

game.userRegistered = [[json objectForKey:@"user_registered"] boolValue];

Thanks all for the help
