I'm Using AFNetworking (3.1.0) in Pods, and I'm trying to subclass SessionManager class in it.

When I try to use:

 __weak typeof(self) weakSelf = self;

in the subclass, I get an error

'__weak' only applies to objective-c object or block pointer types; type here is int" warning

I see this is similar to:

'__strong' only applies to objective-c object or block pointer types; type here is XXX" warning

I checked my framework search paths, but I did not have framework path listed there.

In the framework search path for my target settings:

$(inherited) non-recursive
$(PROJECT_DIR) non-recursive
$(PODS_ROOT) recursive

I'm not sure what to change to fix the error.

Pods_Test.Framework Header:

#ifdef __OBJC__
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#else
#ifndef FOUNDATION_EXPORT
#if defined(__cplusplus)
#define FOUNDATION_EXPORT extern "C"
#else
#define FOUNDATION_EXPORT extern
#endif
#endif
#endif


FOUNDATION_EXPORT double Pods_Test_ContactVersionNumber;
FOUNDATION_EXPORT const unsigned char Pods_Test_ContactVersionString[];

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Which version of AFNetworking are you using ? – Anton Malmygin Nov 02 '17 at 17:01
Using AFNetworking (3.1.0) @AntonMalmygin – Teja Nandamuri Nov 02 '17 at 17:02
Did you tried to explicitly use the name of you subclass instead of `typeof(self)` ? – Anton Malmygin Nov 02 '17 at 17:06
I tried __weak typeof(BackgroundSessionManager) weakSelf = self;, and still gives me the same error – Teja Nandamuri Nov 02 '17 at 17:08
And just `__weak BackgroundSessionManager weakSelf = self;` not working too ? – Anton Malmygin Nov 02 '17 at 17:10
yes @AntonMalmygin – Teja Nandamuri Nov 02 '17 at 17:14
what is `self` in here – Pranjal Bikash Das Nov 02 '17 at 18:03
self is pointing to BackgroundSessionManager which is a subclass of SessionManager in AFNetwroking. @PranjalBikashDas – Teja Nandamuri Nov 02 '17 at 18:04
Do you somehow have two types named `BackgroundSessionManager` linked in? – jscs Nov 02 '17 at 18:51
I created BackgroundSessionManager by adding new file to Xcode. It created .h and .m in Xcode. I only see these two files. How can there be two types of BackgroundSessionManager ?@JoshCaswell – Teja Nandamuri Nov 02 '17 at 18:53
any solution for this? – Nisha Nov 28 '18 at 17:52
