I compiled my app with Xcode 13 beta and am getting a bunch of runtime warnings like this. I've also noticed someone else on Twitter experiencing the same thing.

Any idea what's causing this? Something with my plist file formatting?

I don't use Core Data (used to long ago but don't think I have any relics of that in my project anywhere) which was my first thought when seeing NSKeyedUnarchiver.

I'm also facing this issue; although, I am using CoreData.

Looks like it's coming from the Firebase(GoogleUtilities) library for line -

[NSKeyedUnarchiver unarchivedObjectOfClasses:classes fromData:data error:outError]

Thanks, that must be it I use Firebase. It looks like they have fixed it.. hope to see it released soon.

I'm not using firebase. I'm using a custom DataTransformer.

Specifying the type here fixed it: override static var allowedTopLevelClasses: [AnyClass] {

return [NSArray.self, NSString.self]

}

Just to be clear, as J-NIC wrote in a comment, adding additional classes to the unarchiver is what worked for me. In my case I just needed to add NSString:

let mySpecialObject = try? NSKeyedUnarchiver.unarchivedObject(ofClasses:[MySpecialClass.self, NSString.self] ...

I had the same problem in Swift with iOS 15 / Xcode 13.2.

I solved it by simply adding NSNumber (the offending class listed in the warning) in the list of classes decoder.decodeObject of required init(coder decoder: NSCoder) { }

(I edited the class names). MyVar contains some numbers.

    required init(coder decoder: NSCoder) {
        
        myVar = decoder.decodeObject(of: [MyType.self, NSNumber.self], forKey: theKey) as? [MyVar] ?? []
    }
