Incorrect DateEncodingStrategy when using Date wrapped in AnyEncodable

[Skoti]

I have found a great explanation here, by itaiferber:

How to encode objects of unknown type?

Sure, happy to elaborate! Did you include the necessary extension on Encodable? extension Encodable { fileprivate func encode(to container: inout SingleValueEncodingContainer) throws { try container.encode(self) } } If you did and this still isn't compiling for you, can you show your full code? (And what version of Swift are you using?) To elaborate on this point: when you execute value.encode(to: encoder), you are directly invoking value's encode(to:) method, which directl…

However, this seems like a very subtle difference when writing such a code, in that case wouldn't it be better to include AnyEncodable in the stdlib? I guess there are many others that implement AnyEncodable as value.encode(to: container) instead of value.encode(to: &container).
