Model:

import Foundation

struct Postgeo: Codable {
   let plus_code: Plus_code
   let results: [Results]
   let status: String
}

struct Results: Codable {
   let address_components: [Address_components]
   let formatted_address: String
   let geometry: Geometry
   let place_id: String
   let plus_code: Plus_coderes
   let types: [String]
 }

 struct Geometry: Codable {
   let location: Location
   let location_type: String
   let viewport: Viewport
 }

 struct Plus_code: Codable {
   let compound_code, global_code: String
 }

 struct Address_components: Codable {
   let long_name, short_name: String
   let types: [String]
 }

 struct Location: Codable {
   let lat, lng: Double
 }

 struct Northeast: Codable {
   let lat, lng: Double
 }

APIManage:

import Foundation
import Combine

class APIManager: ObservableObject {
   let objectWillChange = PassthroughSubject<Void, Never>()


   var postgeos = Postgeo.self {
      willSet {
          objectWillChange.send()
      }
   }

   init() {
      guard let url = URL(string: "<url>") else {
        fatalError("Invalid URL")
      }

      URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: url) { data, response, error in

          guard let json = data else { return }

          let postgeo = try? JSONDecoder().decode(Postgeo.self, from: json)

          print(postgeo)

          DispatchQueue.main.async {
              self.postgeos = postgeo
          }
          print("API values fetched Successfully")
      }.resume()
  }
}

At debug i have error:

Cannot assign value of type 'Postgeo?' to type 'Postgeo.Type'

on row self.postgeos = postgeo

If I comment this row, i have correct result from print(postgeo)

I have adapted a Json fetch code for swiftui that works fine with Json that starts with '[', but the result json from geocode google api starts with '{'.

How can I fix this error?

Thank you.

Answer 1

If print(postgeo) shows the correct result then postgeos causes the problem.

Indeed you declared postgeos as Postgeo.self.

Remove .self, add ? and replace = with :

var postgeos : Postgeo? { ...
