AttributedString gone in Xcode 8 beta 4?

dave256 · 2016-08-01T21:23:24.000Z

I was updating my project from beta 3 to beta 4 today and it seems AttributedString disappeared. Changing it to NSAttributedString fixed it.

I don't see anything in the Release Notes about AttributedString.

Is it gone permanently? Or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,
Dave Reed

I believe the removal of NS from some foundation types was reversed after
feedback and further consideration.

Update to version 2 of the proposal.

We decided to keep the NS on some subset of "future value types". We also decide…d to keep the NS on all the Lock-related API, as we know that this will be a focus area for Swift 4. There are a few additional rules to cover these cases, as well as an update to the table to apply them.

Ah, I thought there was already a value type AttributedString that I was now using.

Thanks,

That was pretty much the rationale for restoring “NS". :-)
