Objective-C Literals for Subclasses?

Does anyone know if Xcode supports literals for objects of subclasses? I tried creating an object of type NSMutableArray but Xcode gives a warning about initializing an incompatible pointer type (NSMutableArray *) with an NSArray expression..

No. Xcode supports literals for the non-mutable parent classes. If you want to make a mutable instance of a literal, call mutableCopy on it.

Got it.
