NSString *productName = [ product valueForKey:@"kitName" ];
just assigns blindly whatever valueForKey: returns to an productName, which is
really just an id which the compiler expects to be an NSString (ie the compiler
will warn you if you call non-NSString methods on it). However that line alone
doesn't prove that it's a NSString, could still be a NSArray.
What are you doing with productName which proves it is in fact a string? Are
you logging it, do you see '[]' in the log message which might be a hint it's
an array of strings?
What's product? Is that an array? valueForKey: on an array returns an array of
answers. _______________________________________________
