No setter method for assignment to property

Question

I have my constants and custom enums in a separate .h file. The file is a subclass of NSObject.

typedef NS_ENUM(NSInteger, MyEnumName) {
    EnumValueOne,
    EnumValueTwo
};

In another class which is also a subclass of NSObject, I have a property for said enum.

@property (assign, nonatomic) MyEnumName hello;

And inside its implementation file, I'm trying to set its value like so,

self.hello = EnumValueTwo;

But I get an error at that line saying,

No setter method 'setHello:' for assignment to property

I tried declaring a setter method manually for that property but it still didn't work.

If I do the same inside a view controller, it works fine. Cannot do that in the NSObject subclass.

Can someone tell me why this is and how to correct it?

Thank you.

Answer 1

in the example project you try to call self in a class method.. this is you r problem not the enum. you can't access self or any instance variable from a class method.
