Why am I getting an "Expected Identifier" error?

Objective-C – Expected identifier error driving me crazy

  • I'm getting an expected identifier error when I try to compile my code. careerURL is setup like this in .h file: @property (nonatomic, copy) NSString *careerURL; And synthesized like this in .m file: @synthesize careerURL; I really do not understand what is the issue here. The exact code works in another viewcontroller.

  • Answer:

    You should either use dot(.) syntax, NSString *wtf = self.careerURL; Or Objective-C message syntax, NSString *wtf = [self careerURL]; Not both at the same time.

You should write: NSString *wtf = self.careerURL; When you are writing [object method] it is expected that you want to call method method from object object. If you want just access some value (that is defined as @property) you can type: [self nameOfValue]; or self.nameOfValue;
