Class objects cannot be used as dictionary keys, because NSDictionary copies its keys and class objects can't be copied. Class objects can be used as dictionary values.

Is `messageID` supposed to be the class object? If so, that won't work. One solution is to use NSString class names for the dictionary keys, and use NSClassFromString() and NSStringFromClass() to convert.
