I ran into this a while back. Basically if the method names only differ by return type and there is nothing else to go on (like a concrete object pointer type) the compiler, without complaining, plumps for the first one it can find, which invariably is Cocoa's built-in methods and not yours.

The return type is not part of the method signature.

You have two choices:

a) rename your property something else

b) type the object explicitly where used, and don't use id.

what makes XCode think the `tag' property of the item is an NSInteger?
