Here is my answer that passes all three parts of the challenge.

enum ParserError: Error {
    case emptyDictionary
    case invalidKey
}

struct Parser {
    var data: [String : String?]?

    func parse() throws {
        guard let data = data else {
            throw ParserError.emptyDictionary
        }
        guard data["someKey"] != nil else {
            throw ParserError.invalidKey
        }

    }
}

let data: [String : String?]? = ["someKey": nil]
let parser = Parser(data: data)

do {
    try parser.parse()
} catch ParserError.emptyDictionary {
    print("Error: EmptyDictionary")
} catch ParserError.invalidKey {
    print("Error: InvalidKey")
}

Thanks! I solved in this way if someone wants to see other option

enum ParserError: Error {
    case emptyDictionary
    case invalidKey
}

struct Parser {
    var data: [String : String?]?

    func parse() throws {
        if data?.count == nil {
            throw ParserError.emptyDictionary
        }


        if data?.keys.contains("someKey") != nil {
            throw ParserError.invalidKey
        }
    }
}

let data: [String : String?]? = ["someKey": nil]
let parser = Parser(data: data)

do {
  try parser.parse()
}catch ParserError.emptyDictionary {
    print("Error: EmptyDictionary")
} catch ParserError.invalidKey {
    print("Error: InvalidKey")
}
