Description

When my binary file generated from our server running .NET web services contains one record, code like this:

do {
    if let data = try? Data(contentsOf: Bundle.main.url(forResource: "account.bin", withExtension: nil)!) {
        let account = try EyeRepMongoDataImport.Models.AccountEntity.parseFrom(data: data)
        print(account)
    }
} catch let exception {
    print(exception)
}

works fine. However, when it's an array of records, I get an error: invalidProtocolBuffer("InvalidUTF8StringData"). I realize that's the wrong way to load a file containing an array of records, but the documentation doesn't provide me with a clear understanding on what code I should be using to do so. What am I missing?

Thanks.

Going to close this. Server guy provided a different .proto and now it works. Thanks!
