Thanks, Quincey.

@nonobjc means this is Swift-specfic then?

The init function I’m using is marked as @objc:

@objc required init(coder decoder: NSCoder)
{
}

let array = decoder.decodeObject(of: [[Int].self], forKey: kArrayKey) as! [Int]

gives an error:

Cannot invoke 'decodeObject' with an argument list of type '(of: [[Int].Type], 
forKey: String)’

The code I mentioned in my follow-up email seems to work:

let array = decoder.decodeObject(of: [NSArray.self], forKey: kArrayKey) as! 
[Int]

Presumably as! would throw an exception if it’s not an array of Ints, so that 
does get checked (and using as? with a failable initializer would presumably be 
better).

If I replace [NSArray.self] with [Array.self] I get an error:

Ambiguous reference to member 'decodeObject(of:forKey:)’

I’ve also tried [Array<Int>.self], which gives a different error:

Cannot invoke 'decodeObject' with an argument list of type '(of: 
[Array<Int>.Type], forKey: String)’
