Swift 2.2 Warnings and It's Solutions – Xcode 7.3

Xcode 7.3 came with Swift 2.2 Version. I just updated to Xcode 7.3 and found following warnings because of Swift version change.

List of warnings with it’s solution:

‘var’ parameters are deprecated and will be removed in Swift 3




Warning with:
[code language=”obj-c”]
func functionTest(var param:String) {
print(param)
}
[/code]
Solution:
[code language=”obj-c”]
func functionTest(param:String) {
print(param)
}
[/code]
If you want to update that variable inside the function then you have to create copy of that variable to do operations on that.

Use of string literal for Objective-C selectors is deprecated; use ‘#selector’ instead




Warning with:
[code language=”obj-c”]
btn.addTarget(self, action: "functionName", forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.TouchUpInside)
[/code]
OR
[code language=”obj-c”]
btn.addTarget(self, action: Selector("functionName"), forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.TouchUpInside)
[/code]
Solution:
[code language=”obj-c”]
btn.addTarget(self, action: #selector(ViewController.functionName), forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.TouchUpInside)
[/code]
Apple Documentation : Added information about the #selector syntax for Objective-C selectors to the Selector Expression section.

Warning with:
