Has bundle path name changed?

I copied Pasan's code in and it's throwing a compiler error on 2 lines in the PListConverter

        guard let path = Bundle.main.path(forResource: name, ofType: type) else {
            throw PlistError.invalidResource
        }

"Use of unresolved identifier Bundle" and

        guard let array = NSArray(contentsOfFile: path) as? [[String: String]] else {
            throw PlistError.parsingFailure
        }

"Use of unresolved identifier NSArray"

Any idea what's up here and what's causing this?

My guess is that you forgot to tell Swift that you want to use Apple's framework that all of this is included in. Try putting this at the top of your file:

import Foundation

In Swift, the import keyword says that you want to use some code included in the module you specify. Foundation is one of the core frameworks that Apple built for their OS family, so you'll be using it pretty often on iOS. It's where they define stuff like NSBundle or NSArray, as well as tons of other stuff. Its documentation is available here
