Hello there,

I am sure people have encountered this issue but I wasn't able to find it around here. Given a NSTableView or a NSOulineView that can be bound with a NSArrayController or a NSTreeController, how does that go with Swift arrays.. Swift Array aren't NSMutableArray, however, removing a selected object seem to work fine. It starts to go wrong when dragging an object to another spot in the collection view.

Here is the stacktrace. But the question is, is there a workaround to achieve this without using NSMutableArray.. Imagine you have a complex strong-typed model with different levels of children.

Well I know this is 5 years old, but I'm just running into this issue now. Did you ever find a solution? I have an NSTreeController bound to a Swift array and I get the same crash. This time on macOS Monterey.

I encountered this issue when I have a property to bind with treeController @objc dynamic var contents: [AnyObject] = []

I try to change NSMutableArray, works for me.

@objc dynamic var contents: NSMutableArray = NSMutableArray()
