Cannot assign a value of type 'DateComponents' to a value of type 'String?'

Question

The following code doesn't compile and I'm not sure where to find the answers within Apple's documentation:

let birthdate = try currentHealthStore.dateOfBirthComponents()
        var formatter = DateFormatter()
        formatter.dateFormat = "dd-MM"
        var formattedDate = formatter.string(for: birthdate)
        self.ageValueLabel.text = birthdate

The error stems from the final line where it can't be converted to a string.

Answer 1

You are trying to assign a dateComponent value to label. But a label expects a String value. So yo just havr to do this.

self.ageValueLabel.text = formattedDate
