Make sure you imported the appropriate framework, i.e.- Foundation into your project. This contains many methods, including the objective-C method we desire, NSDictionary.

You should paste this on the top of your code:

import Foundation

Than you'll have no problems with:

guard let dictionary = NSDictionary(contentsOfFile: path)
