Trouble getting selected files via NSService

Is it an iOS (CocoaTocuh) app or OSX (Cocoa) ? Cocoa I guess.

I tested the following which compiles and run

var pboard = NSPasteboard()

let fileArray : [String] = pboard.propertyList(forType: .fileURL) as! [String]

But I get an error log (probably because I miss some register elsewhere):

OSX[13006:7378450] +[NSPasteboard allocWithZone:]: unrecognized selector sent to class 0x7fff8ca9c848

I completed with:

        let pboard = NSPasteboard.general
        print(pboard.name)
        let fileArray = pboard.propertyList(forType: .fileURL) as! [String]
        print("fileArray", fileArray)

I selected files in Finder, copied (in pasteboard) and ran.

Crash as for you:

NSPasteboardName(_rawValue: Apple CFPasteboard general)

Could not cast value of type '__NSCFString' (0x7fff8d157378) to 'NSArray' (0x7fff8d158db8).

So I tested

        let pboard = NSPasteboard.general
        print(pboard.name)
        let fileArray = pboard.propertyList(forType: .fileURL) as! String
        print("fileArray", fileArray)

I selected files in Finder, copied, and ran.

I got one name, the first selected:

NSPasteboardName(_rawValue: Apple CFPasteboard general)

fileArray file:///Users/ME/Desktop/Facture%20Appilys%20-%20MyFile.pdf

SO, .fileURL returns a String, not an array.

I could not find how to return an array (which selector ?)

I had a quick look here, but did not implement.

Thanks for the followup. Don't forget to close the thread on your correct answer.

Yep will do.
