After instantiating an array as an AnyObject type and adding string objects to the array the following code compiles however crashes when attempting to display this array in a textfield. The program still crashes when attempting to print it out to the debug console as well with the following error message: "fatal error: array cannot be bridged from Objective-C". Is the following method not compatible with swift?
print((jumperCablesRoles as! [String]).joinWithSeparator(","))
Here is the entire code base:

var rejuvenatedEnterprisesEmployees = [

The problem you're having is in this line of code: jumperCablesRoles.append(rejuvenatedEnterprisesEmployees[i].employeeRoles).
As far as I can tell, employeeRoles is an array of Strings in itself ([String]). This means that if you add an employee's employeeRoles to the jumperCablesRoles array, jumperCablesRoles is actually an array which contains an array of Strings. ([[String]]). This is why, when you try to force cast it into [String] it will fail.
I'm not sure exactly what you want the result to be, so I can't help you with that, but you can try to append each element of employeeRoles separately to jumperCablesRoles if that's what you're going for. If that's what you want, just leave a comment and I'll provide additional code.
Edit: I just went ahead and found a solution anyways, simply replace jumperCablesRoles.append(rejuvenatedEnterprisesEmployees[i].employeeRoles) with the following:
rejuvenatedEnterprisesEmployees[i].employeeRoles.forEach {jumperCablesRoles.append($0)}
This adds every employeeRole (which is a String) to jumperCablesRoles separately.
