I can't Unwrap a value from a plist key value

Question

I'm new to swift and I'm trying to load a property from a nsDictionary to vTitle

var nsDictionary: NSDictionary?
         if let path = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "AppData", ofType: "plist") {
            nsDictionary = NSDictionary(contentsOfFile: path)
         }
let vTitle:String = nsDictionary["LbVacationsTitle"]

When I debug I see the right keys in nsDictionary but I can't unwrap the value of just one key The type of LbVacationsTitle is a string

Answer 1

Depending on your style preference...

var nsDictionary: NSDictionary?
if let path = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "AppData", ofType: "plist") {
    nsDictionary = NSDictionary(contentsOfFile: path)
}
if let dict = nsDictionary {
    let vTitle = dict["LbVacationsTitle"] as? String
    if let vt = vTitle {
        // ...
    }
}

...or...

var nsDictionary: NSDictionary?
if let path = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "AppData", ofType: "plist") {
    nsDictionary = NSDictionary(contentsOfFile: path)
}
guard let dict = nsDictionary else {
    print("Couldn't get a valid dictionary")
    return
}
let vTitle = dict["LbVacationsTitle"] as? String
guard let vt = vTitle else {
    print("Couldn't find a string matching LbVacationsTitle")
    return
}
// ...
