[iOS, Swift] GeoPoint realtions - how to get a custom subclass instead of BackendlessEntity?

iOS

Hi,

I’m using custom subclass “Photo” in my app successfully in persistanceService requests, but when I do GeoService request, I’m getting geoPoints with “BackendlessEntity” instead of “Photo”. Why? How can I make it work?

Thank you.

You should use class casting, for example:

    func getGeoPointAsync() {
        
        let geoQuery = BackendlessGeoQuery()
        
        self.backendless.geoService.getPoints(
            geoQuery,
            response: { ( bc : BackendlessCollection!) -> () in
                let data = bc.getCurrentPage() as! [GeoPoint]
                print("GeoPoint collection have been retrieved: \(data)")
                
                let geoPoint = data[0]
                let photo = geoPoint.metadata["photo"] as! Photo
            },
            error: { ( fault : Fault!) -> () in
                print("Server reported an error: \(fault)")
            }
        )
    }

That’s what I do and it fails.

Please provide your Photo class (and all its embedded classes if they are) as text and your appId here or to support@backendless.com - we will try to reproduce this problem.

You were right and I was wrong:)

I’m really getting a Photo entity, but it’s embedded in an array, so one has to unwrap the array first.
