dict allKeys is not a String  It is a  String   exactly as the error message tells you  assuming  of course  that the keys are all strings  this is exactly what you are asserting when you say that    So  either start by typing componentArray as  AnyObject   because that is how it is typed in the Cocoa API  or else  if you cast dict allKeys  cast it to  String   because that is how you have typed componentArray

From the official Array Apple documentation   init     - Creates an array containing the elements of a sequence   Declaration  Array init lt S gt    s  S  where Element    S Element  S   Sequence   Parameters  s - The sequence of elements to turn into an array   Discussion     You can use this initializer to create an array from any other type that conforms to the Sequence protocol   You can also use this initializer to convert a complex sequence or collection type back to an array  For example  the keys property of a dictionary isn   t an array with its own storage  it   s a collection that maps its elements from the dictionary only when they   re accessed  saving the time and space needed to allocate an array  If you need to pass those keys to a method that takes an array  however  use this initializer to convert that list from its type of LazyMapCollection lt Dictionary lt String  Int gt   Int gt  to a simple  String     func cacheImagesWithNames names   String            custom image loading and caching     let namedHues   String  Int      Vermillion   18   Magenta   302           Gold   50   Cerise   320  let colorNames   Array namedHues keys  cacheImagesWithNames colorNames   print colorNames     Prints    Gold    Cerise    Magenta    Vermillion

You can use dictionary map like this    let myKeys   String    myDictionary map String  0 key      The explanation   Map iterates through the myDictionary and accepts each key and value pair as  0  From here you can get  0 key or  0 value  Inside the trailing closure     you can transform each element and return that element  Since you want  0 and you want it as a string then you convert using String  0 key   You collect the transformed elements to an array of strings
