Has 'kUTTypeFlatRTFD' been renamed?

Question

When trying to access the constant kUTTypeFlatRTFD (or any of the text types for that matter) I get the issue that it is an unresolved identifier.

It appears to not be deprecated, and available as part of MobileCoreServices: https://developer.apple.com/reference/mobilecoreservices/kuttypeflatrtfd

Currently, even the simple print(kUTTypeFlatRTFD); results in this compiler error when placed in a blank view controller of a new iOS project.

Is there a special way to access this in Swift 3+?

It seems to work for me. Did you `import MobileCoreServices`? — Jordan Smith, May 11 '17 at 22:59
Nothing is really imported by default - normally you import UIKit or something like that at the top of your file. Perhaps importing UIKit imports that implicitly, but I don't think so. — Jordan Smith, May 11 '17 at 23:02
Ok, thanks for the clarity. If you post it as an answer, I will accept it. — Jake Chasan, May 11 '17 at 23:03

If you can't find a type or constant, make sure you have imported the relevant library. For your case, import MobileCoreServices should do the trick.

Normally, you will import Foundation or import UIKit at the top of a Swift file (for iOS projects anyway). If what you need isn't contained in that library you need to explicitly import it.
