XCode 9: PFSubclassing.object() breaks builds on XCode 9 beta 4

[mman]

Not sure what exactly is happening, but XCode 9 beta 3 started emitting this as a warning message:

Unavailable class method 'object()' was used to satisfy a requirement of protocol 'PFSubclassing'

and XCode 9 beta 4 marked this as an error making it impossible to even build the project.

Since PFSublcassing.object() is an optional requirement, commenting out the method in the PFSubclassing.h header files makes the project build again - assuming you do not rely on this functionality.

Could be a bug in the XCode 9 beta 4, could be an abuse of object() method in Parse iOS SDK.

Any thoughts how to fix this?

Uhm... Can you provide a PR, i’ll Setup a branch for Xcode-9 that we’ll be able to use as a dependency for pods/Carthage and a small notice in the README?

[mman]

I have prepared a PR against master, tested locally built framework against on one of my apps and the app builds again using XCode 9 beta 4.

If you also include the LiveQuery-iOS library on your cartfile the issue appears, because LiveQuery is stuck with ParseSDK 1.15.0. Furthermore, it also refers to the dead ParseCommunity repo.
