'init' has been renamed to 'init(describing:)' in XCode8

Question

It's really going crazy, this single simple line doesn't compile, why?

I'm using Xcode Version 8.1 (8B62) Here's the api reference for String(format: String, _ arguments: CVarArg...)

That API references clearly states at the top: "**Foundation** > String> init(format:_:)" ... — Martin R, Dec 19 '16 at 09:35

Add import Foundation to the top of your playground.

This will import the Foundation Framework and will allow you to use its API.

It's really embarrassing to find that String(format: String, _ arguments: CVarArg...) is part of Foundation and not an default constructor....

The solution is that put import Foundation on the top of the playground
