Cannot convert value of type 'String' to expected argument type 'AnyCodable'

[bakshioye]

I am trying to assign a String value to a property that has a type AnyCodable but cannot assign it. Any way I can assign the value to the property?

Okay got it. In case anyone needs the answer in future, I'll just put it here

For assigning a value, use one of the initialisers

finalSearchField.inputValue = AnyCodable(stringLiteral: )

and if you want to fetch the value that is for a property that is declared AnyCodable, use .value for that property, like :

finalSearchField.inputValue?.value

and then cast it to any value you want like to String usingas? String
