There is a specific note in the Swift book: “If you define a public protocol, the protocol’s requirements require a public access level for those requirements when they are implemented. This behavior is different from other types, where a public type definition implies an access level of internal for the type’s members.” Excerpt From: Apple Inc. “The Swift Programming Language (Swift 2.1 Prerelease).” iBooks. As I read that adopting a public protocol requires the methods that implement the protocol to be public (but only those methods). _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
