Understanding iOS Compiler Errors - Property access result unused – getters should not be used for side effects

Property access result unused – getters should not be used for side effects

If you try to call a method that takes no arguments using dot notation (rather than passing a message), you will get this warning. For example:

self.clear;

 

To fix this warning, change the code to pass a message instead:

[self clear];

 

For explanations of other compiler errors and warnings, check out our new book site: http://www.iOSAppsForEveryone.com
