Swift: create an array of dictionaries of any objects

Question

I am trying to create an array which elements are dictionaries which keys are strings and values are AnyObject. This is my code:

var informationOfRows: Array<Dictionary<String, AnyObject>> = [
        ["title": "Mis Promos", "icon": FontAwesome.Money, "segue": "myPromoSegue"],
        ["title": "Mis Marcas", "icon": FontAwesome.Briefcase, "segue": "myBrandSegue"],
        ["title": "Editar Perfil", "icon": FontAwesome.Edit, "segue": "editUserProfileSegue"],
        ["title": "Invitar Amigo", "icon": FontAwesome.EnvelopeO, "segue": "inviteFriendSegue"],
        ["title": "Quejas y Sugerencias", "icon": FontAwesome.LightbulbO, "segue": "suggestionSegue"]
    ]

However, I am getting an error message that states: Type of expression is ambiguous without more context.

How can I solve this issue?

Thanks in advance

P.S.: Fontawesome is a library which contains a bunch of icons.

It is just an enumeration which definition is public enum FontAwesome: String. — lmiguelvargasf

There comes your problem: String is a value type, not object type, so it doesn't conform to AnyObject. Swift 1.2 gave a better error message than 2.0 on this. Change your dictionary to <String, Any> instead. — Code Different

Thank you so much, it worked, if you want you can provide an answer, and I can mark it as valid. :) — lmiguelvargasf

Your FontAwesome is an enum of type String:

public enum FontAwesome: String { ... }

String is a value type, not object type, so it doesn't conform to AnyObject. Swift 1.2 gave a better error message than 2.0 on this. Change your dictionary to <String, Any> instead:

var informationOfRows: Array<Dictionary<String, Any>> = ...
