Thanks. It appears that the instancetype didn't help, as I had already converted the init method to return the instancetype instead of id.
Yeah, oddly enough, the object that's conforming to the protocol is using delegate/protocol and calling a method in the delegate - which isn't even declared in the protocol. I don't know how it worked in the first place. Spooky code is spooky. Thanks, Jens. Always appreciated.
