Question

I have the following data in a NSDictionary Variable:

{
    value = "TV-PG";
}

I was wondering how to get the value for key “value” here.

I tried:

        NSDictionary *fieldMaturityRating = [[parsedItems objectAtIndex:0] objectForKey:@"field_maturity_rating"];

        NSString *dateRelease = [fieldMaturityRating objectForKey:@"value"];

(where, fieldMaturityRating is a NSDictionary with the given value)
and I get:

-[__NSArrayM objectForKey:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0xd9cd3f0
[10530:707] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception: -[__NSArrayM objectForKey:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0xd9cd3f0

Can anyone kindly help me ?
Thanks.

Note: if I pause the execution and do a po after the 1st line of code presented here, I get the following:

(gdb) po fieldMaturityRatingNew
<__NSArrayM 0x79af250>( 
{
    value = "TV-PG";
}
)

Answer 1

The po actually shows your issue:

(gdb) po fieldMaturityRatingNew
<__NSArrayM 0x79af250>( 
{
    value = "TV-PG";
}
)

The outer ( and ) mean that your object is actually an array.

Inside that is where the { and } denote your dictionary.

So you really want:

NSString *value = [[fieldMaturityRatingNew objectAtIndex:0] objectForKey:@"value"];
