Question

Suppose this is a value in a JSON I want to assign to a BOOL variable:

"retweeted": false

Here is how I parse JSON data:

NSError *error;
NSArray *timeline = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:responseData options:NSJSONReadingMutableLeaves error:&error];

Now, I have a bool property defined as:

BOOL *retweeted;

Inside my class. When I do this while parsing the JSON:

tweet.retweeted = [[[timeline objectAtIndex:i] objectForKey:@"retweeted"] boolValue];

I get this error:

How to solve this problem?

Answer 1

BOOL *retweeted;

this is wrong, booleans are scalars, not Objective-C objects, so they don’t need to be declared as pointers. Use

BOOL retweeted;

instead.
