Warning: type 'id <NSTextAttachmentCell>' does not conform to the 'NSCopying' protocol



I have a piece of code that loops over all attachments in a text view
and messes with their cells.

I'm getting this compiler warning that I can't explain:

  warning: type 'id <NSTextAttachmentCell>' does not
           conform to the 'NSCopying' protocol

Why should it?  There's no 'copy' in my code.  The warning goes away if
I change the marked line to this:

  id <NSTextAttachmentCell> cell_id = [attachment attachmentCell];
  NSTextAttachmentCell *cell = (NSTextAttachmentCell*) cell_id;

Can anybody explain this to me please?

Best,
   Stefan



  unsigned end = [textStorage length];
  NSRange effectiveRange = { 0, 0 };
  while (NSMaxRange(effectiveRange) < end) {
      NSTextAttachment *attachment =
          [textStorage attribute:NSAttachmentAttributeName
                         atIndex:NSMaxRange(effectiveRange)
                  effectiveRange:&effectiveRange];
      if (attachment) {
          NSTextAttachmentCell *cell = [attachment attachmentCell];  // <-- warning here

          /* do stuff with cell */
      }
  }
