The path method doesn't return a string

I'm following this tutorial in iOS 8 and when I try the following code I get a compiler warning saying the method path returns a CGPathRef instead of NSString.

 self.videoFilePath = [[info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerMediaURL] path];

XCode 6 suggesting to change it as below

 self.videoFilePath = (__bridge NSString *)([[info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerMediaURL] path]);

any thoughts on this?
