You have very nicely explained the problem yourself:
class Person: Hashable {
Person is not an NSObject. But only an NSObject-derived class type can be seen by Objective-C. Therefore your Person type is invisible to Objective-C. But your @objc func
declaration is for a function that takes an array of Person — and we have just said that Person is invisible to Objective-C. So your @objc func
declaration is illegal. Objective-C cannot be shown this function, because it cannot be shown its parameter.
You would need to change your class declaration to start like this:
class Person: NSObject {
…and then you might of course have to make any necessary further adjustments in the class’s implementation. But that change would make your @objc func
declaration legal. (NSObject is Hashable, so the amount of work needed to make this adaptation might not be very great.)
