Here you go. I have a basic Mac app in Swift. My view controller is a subclass of NSTextFieldDelegate, and the outlet to a text field in the storyboard is named myField. Here's the only stuff in my view controller beyond the boilerplate code:
@IBOutlet weak var myField:NSTextField! //connected to the text field in the storyboard
func textDidChange(notification:NSNotification) {
print("text changed.")
myField.accessibilityHelp="new help message"
}
The line setting the value of myField.accessibilityHelp has the error "cannot assign to property: 'self' is immutable". Comment out that line and the app runs normally. The function doesn't get triggered, because I think I need controlTextDidChange instead, but the point is that I see that error as soon as I try to modify the accessibility details of the text field, and the app won't even build.
